Like Lava In My Veins

Reach for this book when your child feels like their emotions are too big or too loud for the world around them, especially if they have been labeled as difficult or disruptive. It is a powerful tool for children who experience anger as a physical sensation, validating that their intensity is actually a strength when paired with the right support. The story follows Bobby Beacon, a boy with literal heat-based superpowers who struggles in a school environment that initially focuses on his outbursts rather than his potential. Through the guidance of an empathetic teacher, Bobby learns that self-regulation and kindness are the ultimate powers. It is an essential read for building emotional intelligence and self-worth in children ages 5 to 9, particularly those who feel misunderstood by authority figures.
