“This is one of the best books I’ve come across to help a child not only understand their anger but to develop ways to work with that anger.”—Kayla Michelle, Macaroni Kid
“We all know how challenging it can be to help a child deal with the powerful energy of anger. No matter how deep our reserves of compassion and patience are as parents, we also seek tools.… The book clearly offers an Eastern approach and draws from the wisdom of an expert on the matter: Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh. Thich Nhat Hahn instructs that the way we approach anger is to first accept responsibility for it and actually embrace it. ‘Your anger is not your enemy, your anger is your baby.’ Our first task, he says, is to accept it as ‘a mother accepts her child.’ Nhat Hanh views emotion as organic and therefore mutable. So, like refuse, which we change to compost, we can change our anger into love. All this is comes through beautifully in Gail Silver’s book for children.” —Phoebe Vreeland, The Children’s Book Review
