Overview

Chore Day doesn't start the way Yesenia ""Yaya"" hoped it would. Her room feels overwhelming, her tummy feels tight, and the mess feels way too big to handle all at once. When her family gently steps in, Yaya learns an important lesson: big jobs don't have to be done all at once-they can start with just one small step. With encouragement from her mom and playful support from her older sister, Yaya practices calming her body, breaking tasks into simple pieces, and finding confidence in progress rather than perfection. This warm, relatable children's picture book supports emotional regulation, executive functioning skills, and positive family dynamics. It is especially affirming for neurodiverse children and those who struggle with feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks like cleaning and chores. Perfect for families, classrooms, and social-emotional learning spaces, Yesenia's Chore Day helps children recognize their feelings, use calming strategies, and discover that they are capable-one step at a time.
