When Sophie Gets Angry, Really, Really Angry

Reach for this book when your child has had an 'explosive' moment and needs to see that big, fiery anger is a natural storm that eventually passes. It is perfect for those days when a sibling conflict or a denied request leads to a total emotional shutdown or an outward outburst. The story follows Sophie, who loses her temper when her sister grabs her toy and her mother sides with the sister. Molly Bang uses vibrant, expressionistic colors to show how Sophie's world turns red with rage and then gradually shifts back to cool blues and greens as she finds peace in nature. It is an essential tool for children ages 3 to 7, offering a non-judgmental look at the physical sensation of anger and providing a healthy model for self-regulation without shaming the child for their intense feelings.
