This beautiful picturebook on dealing with anger for children is an easy addition to my work library as a children's therapist. It is really well done, a mix of how overwhelming anger feels and what you can do about it.

This absolutely gorgeous picture book is a great introduction to depression for children. It's evocative and stunning, and it doesn't sugarcoat things nor does it present depression as something hopeless and unbeatable. It is an easy addition to my work library.
