I Need Space

A rocket ship demonstrates how taking some time by yourself can you help cope with stressful or overwhelming situations in this sweet and brightly illustrated picture book about regulating emotions, perfect for fans of I Am a Tornado and Nobody Hugs a Cactus.

For a rocket ship like Rocco, space is one big playground, but like most playgrounds, not everyone plays by the rules. Rocco tries to be patient with the toy-stealers and line-cutters...until he's knocked off course by some roughhousing meteors. Suddenly he can't take it anymore!

Luckily, before he blows a fuse, Rocco remembers that sometimes the best way to cool his jets is to get some space. All it takes to refill his tank is a few peaceful minutes by himself--after all, space has plenty of room for everyone to have fun!
