Reach for this book when your child seems overwhelmed by big, hot emotions that feel impossible to control. Whether it is a meltdown at school or a flare-up of frustration at home, this story provides a beautiful visual metaphor for the intensity of a child's inner world. It follows a young boy named Nemi who literally glows with fire, a physical manifestation of his passion and his volatility. Through vibrant illustrations and a sensitive narrative, the book explores the challenge of being 'too much' in a world that often demands we stay cool and quiet. It is an ideal choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning to navigate the dual nature of their temperament: seeing their intensity not just as a problem to be fixed, but as a powerful part of who they are when channeled with care. Parents will find it a gentle opening to discuss self-regulation without making the child feel like their feelings are 'bad.'
