Nacho, a lovable Golden Doodle with a big heart, experiences a day filled with all sorts of emotions. From the disappointment of Ken leaving him at home alone, to the frustration of a wearing a dreaded raincoat, Nacho feels sad, lonely, angry and even a little jealous and bored. But as he reflects on his "mixed-up" day, Nacho discovers a wonderful secret: happiness is something he can create - something he can choose.

This delightful book combines an engaging story with over 100 essential sight words, making it a fantastic tool for building early literacy skills. With beautiful, real-life photography to "picture happy" moments, and a fun interactive game, A Happy Mixed-Up Day is more than just a story-it's an adventure in emotions and words that may help to spark discussion with children and parents about what happens in their day.
