When I Feel Angry by C Spelman

This book is quite simple in describing feelings of anger, aimed at younger readers.  It delineates the feelings from the action of anger.  I appreciated the way the rabbit is put in numerous situations that are true to life for children from being teased about sinky feet, to disappointment.  "Anger is a strong hot feeling."  Giving options to children in order to avert choices made in the moment of the feeling is the solution to these strong hot feelings.  A solution focused story like this helps children feel a mastery in areas where there may be a breakdown of feeling in charge and responsible.  Great book.
