My Review
I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy from the author. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
Lil’ Sass and the Adventure of Anger is an excellent way to teach children about emotions and that feeling anger is okay. The important thing is to be able to deal with the anger in a constructive way. Lil’s Sass’s neighbor gave her a red cape and told her to express her emotions by putting her cape on.
When she puts her cape on after becoming angry, she thinks about all of the other times that she has felt anger. She realizes that most of her anger stems from her dad leaving. Then she realizes that she’s no longer angry! Just thinking it through has helped her.
Lil’ Sass and the Adventure of Anger teaches a good lesson with a cute story and colorful illustrations. At the end it include a Discussion Guide for parents with helpful questions to get children talking about their emotions. This is definitely a handy tool for parents and others who care for children.
