Hello, Anger

I was sent a copy of this book to review via Net Galley. All thoughts are my own!
This has a good message & lesson, teaching kids about where anger stems from and just learning about their emotions in general such as guilt, embarrassment, and frustration.
However, I wish there was more nuance to the scene where the disabled character is bullied and discriminated against. Personally, I believe there could've been a better lesson here than having the teacher tell the disabled child to forgive the able-bodied kid who made fun of her for wearing a prosthetic leg. There are definitely some plot holes that made me question things. Overall, I'd recommend this for the lesson of anger because the end of the book shares a guide for parents on why they should help support their kids when they are angry rather than punish them for their feelings.
