Synopsis

One day, Johnny gets out on the wrong side of the bed. His day starts badly and gets worse from there – until he finds a sixpence and decides to turn things around.

This wordless story, told only through Edward Ardizzone’s trademark cross-hatched illustrations, is a heart-warming story about the very familiar feeling of nothing going your way.
