Reach for this book when your toddler is in the middle of a 'big feelings' day or when typical daily frustrations like sharing toys or waiting for a turn lead to an immediate meltdown. It serves as a gentle, rhythmic intervention for those moments when a child feels their temper rising and needs a concrete roadmap back to calm. Through simple, rhyming couplets, the story illustrates common preschooler stressors such as a bumped knee, a stolen toy, or a spilled drink. Instead of focusing on the tantrum, the book models 'The Peace Train' approach, offering kids a choice between staying angry or choosing peace. It is perfectly pitched for the 2 to 5 age range, providing a soothing cadence that helps de-escalate tension while teaching foundational emotional regulation and empathy.
