ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A BOOK TO ASSIST THE YOUNG DREAMER IN YOUR LIFE IN MANAGING BIG EMOTIONS?
My Tiny Temper by author/illustrator Chris Fequiere is a must read book for parents and educators interested in social emotional learning. The story begins with the author introducing the reader to the main character’s tiny temper. As the story goes on, the main character’s temper is not tiny anymore; in fact it is a giant monster that is making him act out of control. How does he move beyond this big emotion monster? Well, the author skillfully integrates breathing exercises into the story to teach readers how to manage big emotions.
The inviting illustrations allow readers of all ages the opportunity to learn and engage with book’s powerful and important storyline. As an added bonus, the illustrations have a comic book feel to them, which parents and educators can leverage to get kids to read the book. Another thing I love about the book is that it practicalizes the strategy of breathing to aid children with big emotions by using thoughtful and engaging images.
For teachers, this book is a tool to aid children with their big emotions. Teachers can use this book as both a preventive and interventive tool. The book can be used during homeroom or a period designated for social emotional wellness.
For parents, this book is a great reinforcing tool to ensure your young dreamer knows how to manage their big emotions at home and in school. Another thing I love about this book is that the language is accessible and storyline is easy to follow.

From the Author:
Idia of the Benin Kingdom is an empowering children's picture book that takes readers on a beautifully illustrated journey to the 1500s in ancient Africa. Readers are captivated as they watch Idia transform herself from the young and curious daughter of a village warrior to becoming the Queen of the Kingdom of Benin.
Idia was a queen who helped rule the ancient kingdom of Benin with her wisdom, charisma, and prowess. Much has been written about her bravery, and artifacts in her image are treasured in museums all over the world.
This book imagines what her childhood may have been like, and shares the story of this well-loved and successful African queen in a way that is relatable to young readers.
Dream Builder by Kelly Starling Lyons is an inspirational biography of Black STEM Hero and Philly native Phillip Freelon. The author provides the reader with an engaging chronological account of Freelon’s ascension from a struggling young reader to an architect who worked on the team that built the African American History Museum. This inspirational story provides children with a hero to model their dream pursuit after.
This book captures the following powerful aspects of Freelon’s dream pursuit: (1) the role his grandfather played in inspiring him, (2) the impact of living in a Black community with neighbors who exemplified Black Excellence, (3) his awakening to his intellectual strengths, and (4) his commitment to erecting buildings that inspired life.
The portrait-like illustrations display Freelon’s childhood struggles, deep intellectual curiosity in his college years, and his bold commitment to excellence and his people as a professional.
This book is a powerful tool to inspire children to develop and advance their dreams despite their academic barriers. Freelon’s story shows he had academic barriers, but he decided to build pathways through them to accomplish his dream. This is a must buy book that should be on every kid’s bookshelf!

But it’s Career Week at school, and Nigel can’t find the courage to share his dreams. It’s easy to whisper them to the moon, but not to his classmates—especially when he already feels out of place.
