Reach for this book when your child experiences a sudden, explosive temper tantrum that leaves both of you feeling disconnected or shaken. It is an essential tool for the 'big kid' transition where children begin to feel the weight of their own behavior and the complex emotions of shame and regret that follow a meltdown. The story follows Katie Honors, a normally sweet girl who occasionally becomes 'Bombaloo.' This personification of anger helps children understand that while their behavior might be scary or out of control, it does not define who they are. Ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students, the book emphasizes that even after the storm of a tantrum, they are still loved and can find their way back to being themselves through time, space, and parental support.
