Beautifully illustrated book about learning to acknowledge feelings. When tempers flare and words are spoken, Brad, at the receiving end, has sad emotions. His dad lashes out when he steps on block toys, his mother is disappointed when breakfast doesn't turn out as well as she would like.
Eventually Brad is the one who lashes out and his poor, dog, Plaid (rhymes with sad) is on the receiving end of harsh words. Almost immediately Brad feels bad about treating Plaid so roughly, but he notices that Plaid doesn't hold onto those emotions. Brad begins to understand that even when harsh words are thrown, and sadness results, he has a choice about how long to stay sad.
The book ends on a positive note.
