Hello, Anger

This book is such a gift to educators, parents, and anyone working with a child. Jessica carefully and intentionally helps to normalize big feelings for children by encouraging them to become curious about what is really going on underneath. By saying hello to feelings like anger, frustration, and hurt, kids (and grown-ups) can move toward peace.
Every classroom would benefit from utilizing the practical tools and strategies that Jessica gives in this book.

Once again, Jessica has written a powerful and educational resource to help guide our youth through the mess of life. I love how she involved the teacher in modeling her own feelings, expressing the power of repair and how that can lead to important conversations. She did a lovely job of connecting body and feelings to help children understand how feelings can impact regulation and choices that we make. I cannot say enough positive about this book. It is a must have for parents and educators!

Hello, Anger is not only engaging to read and beautifully illustrated, it's an essential guide to cultivating emotional intelligence for kids. This book teaches us not how to change our feelings such as anger, but how to change our relationship with them. Hello, Anger shows young readers that every feeling has a powerful message to send, and to harness the power of that message all we need to do is listen.
