About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their young child is having big, physical meltdowns over small frustrations. The Angry Alien tells the story of Zorp, a friendly alien who gets furious when his block tower falls down. His human friend doesn't judge his anger but instead gently models simple coping strategies, like taking a 'deep space breath' and counting. This book uses a fun, non-threatening sci-fi theme to make the topic of anger accessible for kids aged 4 to 7. It normalizes frustration and provides a clear, actionable toolkit for both kids and parents to use when big feelings take over.
