Mo Wants Ice Cream

What happens when a child wants something more than anything else in the world?

Mo wants ice cream.

Not tomorrow. Not later.

Right now.

But when things do not go according to plan, Mo faces a challenge many children and adults know all too well: disappointment.

Filled with humor, imagination, and heart, Mo Wants Ice Cream is a funny picture book about big feelings, resilience, and learning to make peace with reality when it has other plans.

Perfect for children ages 4–8, this beautifully illustrated story opens the door to gentle conversations about frustration, patience, emotional regulation, and acceptance.

Ideal for parents, teachers, librarians, and readers looking for funny children’s books, social-emotional learning stories, and picture books for strong-willed children.

A playful, heartfelt story for anyone who has ever struggled to let go of what they hoped would happen.
