Snixx and The Stuck Day!

When Eli sits down to do his homework, one tricky question turns his calm day into a storm of frustration.
Meanwhile, over on Emp Island, Snixx and his fiery friend Flaregrump are struggling to hang decorations for Festival Day — and nothing seems to go right!

Through Eli’s story (and Snixx’s too), children learn that frustration is a normal part of learning — and that with a little patience, support, and a few calming strategies, tricky tasks can turn into moments of pride.

A heartwarming story to help children (and parents) understand what happens when frustration shows up — and how to help it pass.
