Field notes
The first story follows Jörö through a visit from Uncle, whose suitcase of presents sets off a sequence of feelings before friends come to play. The page gives adults practical prompts alongside the story: name the feeling, check whether tiredness is behind grumpiness, take a counted breath, then talk about what happened. It also identifies “jörö” as Finnish for a little grump and “mummo” as grandma.
