Nothing seems to be going right for Sammy today. At school, he got in trouble for kicking a fence, then the cafeteria ran out of pizza for lunch. After he walks home in the pouring rain, he finds his autistic little brother Benji is having a bad day too.

This is a story about a boy named Sammy and he is having a bad day. Instead of being comforted by his mom, he feels like he is being pushed to the side since his little brother, Benji, is autistic and needs more attention. Benji noticed that Sammy was crying in the kitchen and he comforts his brother by wrapping him in a blanket, the same way his mom does to him when he's having a rough day. Sammy feels much better after his little brother's gesture that he decides to play with him. He's reminded that whether they have a good day or a bad day, they will be okay since they have each other. This is a great book to teach younger kids about caring for others. ( )
