Excerpt Two:

Review: Meet Andy, a normal kid from a normal house. He loves sports and video games, and sometimes…he gets angry. See what sets him off and what it does to him. There’s anger in his face, his stomach, and his hands. But a guest speaker might just have the answer.
This book is an easy and straightforward explanation on anger, an emotion that is normal and is felt by all. This is something that everyone can relate to and it can be helpful to practice that breathing technique. Illustrations were nice and simple. A great book!
