‘ I would highly recommend this book both as a Psychologist working with students in schools and as a mum to a 2 year old. Even at her age, my daughter loved reading this book and identifying what Jake was feeling. Children are never too young to learn about feelings and this book is a fun enjoyable way to educate around anger and teach strategies to support this feeling. Thanks Michelle!’
