Oh, this is such a great children's book.

A little girl explains why she gets angry. Sometimes it's because she doesn't want to share. Sometimes it's because she's tired, or life isn't fair, or because she's really sad. Sometimes there's no words that can explain why she's so darn angry.

This book is amazing for kids whose emotions are just starting to really rev up, in ways they can't explain to grown ups, or even to themselves. Life isn't always fair when you're little, and everything can set you off. It's up to the grownups, as seen here, to help kids understand those emotions and express themselves.

Jeremiah wasn't entirely impressed, but he got the message. And we both really loved the beautiful artwork.

I loved this one! Honestly, I can relate to this one as an adult not just a child. I love that this one opens up the door to conversation about feelings and emotions, particular anger. This one discusses a little girl who recognizes that she gets angry and sometimes doesn’t react in the best way in various situations: such as when she’s tired, hungry, when her feelings are hurt, sad, frustrated, or feels like things are unfair. Again, that’s relatable for anyone at any age, but I think it’s wonderful that these feelings are able to be discussed and acknowledged. In the end, this one has a happy ending and will have you realizing that all things, feelings included, will pass. The best is yet to come.

short and sweet review for a short and sweet book.
This is a book about a little girl who describes all the different things ways she gets angry and what kinds of things make her feel that way.
It’s a great little book for any child, especially ones that struggle to understand why they’re upset and have difficulty regulating their emotions.
I’d recommend this to all parents of young children :)

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

As someone who was an angry child and didn't have a good support system, this book would have helped.

It helps to show the range of anger, and why kids might be feeling angry. The situations depicted are all ones that I struggled with and ones that I think most kids struggle with as well.

Overall, a good book that will help with social emotional skills!

As a preschool teacher, I think this would be a good book to bring into the classroom. It deals with anger in different forms and how a person does not always react the same way to anger depending on the situation. Small children will be able to sympathize with the young girl in the story. Really good read.

Miigweetch to Netgalley, House of Anansi Press Inc., and Groundwood Books for the DRC.

This is an illustrated children’s book about a little girl dealing with her anger. This would be a good book to have in an early education or elementary classroom, especially when working on expressing, labeling, and processing feelings in a healthy and appropriate way.

The simple language used is perfect for young readers, and is straightforward so the message of the story remains clear and unobfuscated. I enjoyed the colorful illustrations and found the art style complimentary to the text.

I would like to thank Netgalley and House of Anansi Press Inc for giving me this earc in exchange for an honest review.
This is an illustrated children's book about a young child dealing with her anger. I think it is a great book for the little kids in your life and helping then deal with feelings of anger in a healthy manner though i am not a parent. I do think that even for adults it can be beneficial reminder for us to do better.

Cute story about how strong being angry can be but how someone can change her feelings into happier ones. I liked the colorful pictures and easy language for early readers. As an educator, I will definitely be buying to have on hand when we discuss our feelings. Thank You to NetGalley for the arc!

This book is a necessary addition to any collection, whether school, home, or public library. A nuanced discussion of the types of anger and the ways we express that anger. Learning that once our anger comes out, we are ready for a new feeling is a powerful lesson for readers of all ages.

I love books that help children process their emotions. Feder did a great job normalizing anger in Angry Me. Great book to share with children. I particularly love the part that connects rage and sadness.

I love the illustrations in this book and I think children will laugh and find much to identify with. The different situations that cause the little girl to get angry are all done very well. At first I was wishing that the book went into different ways to actually deal with the anger, i.e. where to put it. But I guess that is up to each family to figure out. In a sense, I'm liking that it doesn't try to "fix" anything.

I absolutely loved this children’s book. My older daughter, 4, feels every emotion very intensely. When she gets mad, she gets livid! I love the beautiful pictures and the simple language that show the different types of anger/ what things may make us angry, and how the story encourages the child to feel the emotion so they can let it out and make room for another, better emotion. I cannot wait to purchase a copy to add to our home library.

I really loved how easily we can see the different ways that anger might show up in our lives -- by looking at all those different faces. I also liked that it validated anger, for all the different reasons we might be mad. It felt a little short in its ending, and maybe more appropriate for early preschool and PK.

This book has some great pictures that are easily identifiable to children about feeling angry. I appreciate that the author takes the initial examples of anger and gives an example of what the child could do when they feel angry in those situations.

This is a very helpful resource for young children to explore the concept of anger. Several relatable scenarios show why someone might get angry and possible ways to deal with the feeling. This offers kids a vocabulary for their emotions and a chance to be seen and validated for what they feel and experience. This would be a very helpful book to have on hand for pre-schoolers as they learn to manage big feelings.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

This was a cute, quick read for children. I read this book with my son and he said he understands the situations the girl got angry in. I was hoping it'd show more ways for the kid to handle the anger or how the adults helped them through it, but it didn't. It ends pretty abruptly without much explanation. Would give 3 stars at best, however, the illustrations definitely get 5 stars.

I received and ARC of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I know a little boy that will really benefit from the reading of this book. The author focuses on naming, feeling, and communicating different types of anger. I expect that this story will be of the most benefit to those kids who experience overwhelmingly strong feelings. Especially if they experience every emotion as anger.

A little girl describes many situations when she feels "angry," from feeling left out, feeling injustice, defending someone, or feeling helpless (among others).

She has been taught to express what she wants or how she feels--in place of the emotion, by "using her words"--and admits that in some cases, for instance, being tired or knowing that it won't help, makes it difficult.

But she doesn't let anger last long, and when it's gone, there is room for much nicer feelings. (Like looking at photos with mom and remembering fun times!)

Some children naturally have more difficulty with anger than others. With help, patience, and training, they gain control over the strength and length of strong negative feelings.

The book explores feelings of frustration in an open and matter-of-fact way that everyone can relate to, and invites readers to recall or share their own experiences.

This book addresses a vital subject in societies with "I can't help it" attitudes! These are skills all children (and adults) should be taught! It is recommended for 3-6 year olds, but is appropriate for all ages from 3 up.

5/5 Stars

My first grader and I read this book together. It's about a little girl who is angry - from grief, from frustration, from sadness, from exhaustion. My daughter empathized with this little girl, and the concept of being angry and sometimes not having the words to describe why. After experiencing anger in different scenarios, the little girl in the book is able to find solace again. My daughter also thought this was relatable.

She's asking for a hardcover copy when it's published, so she can read it again and again.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.

A story about a little girl’s emotional journey through anger and calm.

Sometimes the little girl gets angry when she feels kids are being mean, when things aren’t fair, when she’s tired…. there are just so many ways to get angry!

Our little ones can surely relate. Not only does she get angry, but she shares understanding and reasons why anger happens to her as well as her own way of coping through that very normal emotion that we all have that surfaces, just sometimes.

I love the illustrations and the depiction of a multicultural family and diverse friends.

Thank you NetGalley and Groundwood Books for the opportunity to review this book.
