When Sophie Gets Angry—Really, Really Angry...

Reach for this book when your child is in the throes of a volcanic meltdown or struggling to share with a sibling. It provides a vital mirror for those big, scary feelings that seem to take over a child's entire world. By centering on Sophie, a girl who loses her temper when her sister grabs a toy, the story validates that anger is a natural, physical force that can feel like a roaring fire or a crashing wave. Appropriate for preschoolers through early elementary schoolers, the book doesn't lecture or punish the protagonist for her outburst. Instead, it models a healthy, self directed path toward emotional regulation through nature and solitude. Parents will value how the story provides a non-judgmental vocabulary for talking about 'boiling over' and the peace that comes with a quiet reset. It is a perfect tool for teaching children how to find their own 'calm place' when the world feels unfair.
