Don't Put Sprinkles on Your Boo Boo: When Positivity Hurts You - Hardcover

by Michael Hsu (Author), Zen Hsu (Illustrator)

This healing story for kids and grown-ups explores the "sprinkles" of positivity we often use to push away painful feelings instead of truly acknowledging them. We often use these "sprinkles" to cover not only how we truly feel, but also the boo-boos of the child inside us all. The sprinkle of positivity we use on our feelings is one of the main reasons why the world stays stuck in pain.

Written by mental health practitioner Michael "Daddy" Hsu and illustrated by his 6-year-old son, Zen Hsu, this heartfelt book invites meaningful conversations about emotions, parenting, inner-child healing, and the importance of feeling truly seen and understood.
