Reach for this book when you notice your child being overly polite or 'perfect' while clearly simmering with unspoken frustration. It is a vital tool for children who suppress their big emotions to please others, only to eventually explode in a 'kaploom' of anger. Through the story of Katie, the book explores the physical sensation of bottling up feelings and the subsequent guilt of losing one's temper. It is ideal for children ages 3 to 7 who are navigating sibling dynamics and learning that they are loved even when they are not at their 'best.' You might choose this to validate that being 'good' doesn't mean being happy all the time.
