Learning to manage difficult emotions is one of the toughest, yet most important, skills for children. Anger, in particular, can be challenging for kids to understand and control, but developing this skill is vital. I appreciate picture books that reinforce these lessons and provide a bridge to meaningful conversations about feelings with trusted adults. That’s why I’m excited to introduce the new picture book, Bella and Bird Explore Anger by Deana Plaskon. This book is a wonderful addition to any elementary classroom, supporting the emotional intelligence curriculum. Teachers, be sure to check out the valuable worksheets and the educator’s guide that complement the book.

Publisher’s Book Summary: “Can’t you tell?” said Henry. “This is my angry face!”
When Henry storms into the pasture, Bella, the wise horse, and her wisecracking sidekick, Bird, step in to help. Together, the friends set out to explore why Henry is angry and offer better ways to cope.
By the time Henry leaves the pasture, he’s gained new insights, is in better control of his feelings, and has tools to take along with him.
Bella and Bird Explore Anger helps children understand and manage their anger, making it a valuable resource for open and honest conversations about this challenging emotion.
