Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the physical, heat-of-the-moment intensity of anger, particularly after being teased or picked on by a peer. It is a helpful tool for children who feel overwhelmed by 'seeing red' and need to know that these big reactions are a normal part of the human experience. The story follows Egbert, a boy who loves green things like emeralds and dragons, but turns bright red when a bully named Manfred teases him. It captures the impulsive desire to strike back and the messy reality of losing one's temper. Because the book is available in many bilingual editions, it is also a fantastic choice for families looking to bridge language gaps while discussing emotional regulation and the importance of kindness.
