A gorgeous and timely meditation on anger.
The heroine of this beautifully illustrated story feels her anger like a
storm in a dark forest. It sweeps her away, and she thunders and howls.
She pours down her emotions like sheets of rain; rage surges like a wind
whipping angry waves. Her anger takes her on a wild ride.
Appropriate for a wide variety of ages, this book illustrates many
aspects of anger that are often hard to articulate -- how overwhelming
it is, how isolating, even scary. But it also shows anger to be a source
of power and an agent for change. Teckentrup's impactful, boldly colored
paintings skillfully evoke the way intense anger can take us on an
emotional journey, one that can be both exhausting and affirming. This
beautiful tribute to one girl's experience of anger offers readers the
opportunity to make sense of, and talk about their own feelings of rage
in a time when that kind of understanding is more important than ever.
