    Hello, Anger: A Picture Book About Figuring Out What’s Underneath Angry Feelings (Your Magic Backpack)

    Teach Kids to Figure Out Why They are Mad by Jessica Sinarski, illustrated by Macky Pamintuan What can you do when your feelings get the best of you? The students at Sunnyvale Elementary carry a lot in their backpacks - including some things you can't see quite so well, like big feelings and confusing emotions. Today, one fiery red book keeps spilling out and exploding onto everyone: ANGER! It's time for the kids to use their best detective skills to figure out what's underneath those angry feelings. Ana feels HURT when her friends don't play fair. Ben feels EMBARRASSED when he makes a mistake. Grace feels DIFFERENT when nobody chooses her for their team. When our feelings get the best of us, we need to do our best with our feelings. Become a backpack detective like Ana, Ben, and Grace! "Stop when I'm furious. Pause and be curious. What is underneath the mad? Am I lonely, stressed, or sad?"

When a child is sad, scared or angry, these feelings can often lead to challenging behaviors at home or in the classroom. Parents and other adults in their lives need effective tools to help children manage challenging emotions, re-claim a state of calm and tame difficult behaviors.
    Bubbles & Butterflies – A companion coloring workbook designed for children to accompany the themes and lessons from Building Bridges of Hope. Bubbles and Butterflies provides an excellent opportunity for parents, caregivers, therapists or caseworkers to teach children their own strategies for self-soothing, calming and coping with trauma, anxiety and stress.
