Jamie and the Angry Bear

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with explosive reactions, red-faced shouting, or the feeling that their anger is a 'scary' force they cannot control. Jamie and the Angry Bear provides a safe, metaphorical space for children aged 3 to 8 to look at anger from the outside. Through the story of a boy helping a grumpy bear find calm, it validates that being upset is a natural part of life while offering a concrete tool: deep breathing. Parents will appreciate the rhyming couplets which create a rhythmic, soothing reading experience, helping to de-escalate tension. It is an ideal resource for introducing mindfulness and empathy, showing children that they have the power to help themselves and others navigate big feelings.
