I’m pretty much smitten by this lovely and interesting book, “N’y a-t-il Personne Pour se Mettre en Colère?” (Isn’t there anyone who can get angry?”) Written by Toon Tellegen, with wonderful illustrations by Marc Boutavant, it tells the story of how the ability to get angry disappears completely from the lives of these quirky animals…who are very concerned about it.
In twelve poetic, and funny stories, Toon Tellegen highlights all the states of anger, to remind us that far from hate, this fiery emotion can serve to appease, bring people together, and make us laugh out loud!
Sounds like a healthy reframing of human emotions for kids. You can buy it right here on Amazon and if you don’t speak French, just use Google translate to work through it!
