A parent would reach for this book when their child is experiencing explosive, 'out of nowhere' temper tantrums that feel too big for their small bodies to contain. It is an essential tool for those moments when a child feels overwhelmed by frustration and needs a physical metaphor to understand what is happening inside them. The story follows Percy Pig as he learns to visualize his anger as a wild, fast-moving tiger. Guided by the gentle wisdom of his Grammy, Percy discovers how to 'tame' this internal beast using specific calming techniques. This book is developmentally perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students (ages 3-7) because it externalizes the emotion, removing shame and replacing it with a sense of agency. Parents will appreciate the focus on the grandparent-grandchild bond and the practical, actionable strategy that can be used long after the book is closed.
