Educators
Empower children aged 4–9 to manage emotions, build resilience, and grow through play
In today’s classrooms, children need more than academic instruction-they need tools to understand their emotions, regulate their reactions, and build empathy. Let’s Meet Anger is a beautifully illustrated and evidence-informed resource that helps students explore big feelings like anger in a safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate way.
Designed for children aged 4-9, this book is perfect for classroom teaching, wellbeing programs, school libraries, and family engagement.
About the Book
Let’s Meet Anger is more than a picture book-it’s an emotional learning experience that makes self-regulation accessible, playful, and memorable.
What sets this book apart is its innovative approach to emotional education: it transforms powerful psychological techniques into game-like activities that children can understand, remember, and joyfully practice. These activities are designed to be just as engaging for caregivers and educators, offering a shared language and set of tools to support children through challenging moments.
Within the story, children are gently guided to:
- Breathe like a dragon to calm their bodies and minds (Dragon Breath)
- Play Hide and Seek with their body clues, noticing where anger shows up (e.g. tight fists, hot face)
- Become Thought Detectives, identifying and letting go of unhelpful thoughts
- Enter Magic Time, where they affirm their strengths and consciously choose positive thoughts to help achieve their goals
By embedding these emotional skills in playful storytelling, the book makes complex ideas simple, safe, and empowering for young learners.
Children don’t just learn what anger is. They learn how to meet it with confidence, curiosity, and care.

"As a parent, I’ve always wanted to teach my children that all emotions are valid — including anger. Feeling angry is completely okay; what truly matters is how we learn to understand and manage it.

"As a mother of 2 young kids who are starting to experience big emotions between them, I found this book incredibly useful. Its great to have a book that teaches children about anger in a fun and interactive way. I also love that it doesn’t show anger as a negative emotion, but a friend who serves a purpose. The strategies on how to cope with the strong emotions were easy to understand and fun for kids. Highly recommend this book! Looking forward to reading more from this author!"

"It’s one of those rare children’s books that goes beyond the usual,it really expands what stories for kids can do, in such a beautiful and meaningful way. Instead of simply entertaining, it opens up space for real emotional learning. It respects the inner world of children, offering them tools to understand themselves, and shows that stories can be both imaginative and deeply supportive. It’s the kind of book that stays with you long after the last page."
