My Tiny Temper (Hardback)

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.
