An illustrated story about the floppy feeling that comes when a plan you were counting on does not happen. Papa and Capy have the kite all ready for the meadow hill, but in the morning rain is tapping on the window. Papa does not promise sunshine or hurry the feeling away: he sits close, names it, says he feels disappointed too, and lets Capy pick what to do while they wait for the next dry day.

26 pages, written for ages 3 to 7. Instant download in three editions, plus a free set of printable feelings cards.

What the story does

Disappointment is the floppy, heavy feeling when something you were looking forward to does not happen. Capy feels it at the window: the kite is ready, the plan was the meadow hill, and rain is tapping on the glass. His ears droop, his shoulders slump, and he says it in a small voice: I feel floppy, like a kite with no wind. Then he flops onto the rug and cries that the whole day is ruined.

Papa does not promise sunshine, and he does not tell Capy to cheer up. He sits down right beside him, names the feeling, “You feel disappointed,” and says he feels disappointed too. Then he offers two simple choices, and Capy picks one: tying bright new tails on the kite for the next dry day. A child who has watched that has a short phrase to reach for when plans change: Oh well, maybe next time. And next time, the kite flies high.
