Reach for this book when your child is caught in a cycle of frustration, especially if they tend to be hard on themselves after losing their temper. While many books focus on how anger affects others, this story gently shifts the focus to how holding onto anger hurts the child themselves. It follows Trudy the Tiger as she learns from her forest friends that self-kindness is the first step toward emotional regulation. Through the supportive guidance of Gus the Gorilla and Pasha the Panda, children ages 3 to 7 will see that everyone experiences big feelings, but we don't have to stay stuck in them. It is an excellent choice for parents who want to move beyond 'time-outs' and toward a model of self-compassion. The story reinforces that letting go isn't just about being 'good' for others: it is a gift of peace for oneself.
