Full of brilliant advice – including a chapter on terrible advice you should take no notice of – this book shows why anger is nothing to be ashamed of, and is a part of being human.

There are 'Some People' who are behind with the science and believe 'Wrong Things' about anger. Sally Donovan is different. She shares True Facts about big feelings and is helping children to understand and manage their emotions one book at a time.
The Strange and Curious Guide to Anger combines a relatable story with practical information to help 8-12 year olds understand anger. Donovan's respectful and normalising approach encourages a curiosity around anger and is likely to facilitate helpful discussion between children and their grown ups.
Approaches the challenging subject of anger in a funny, thoughtful and irreverent way. It's perfect for children (and adults!) to learn how anger affects us, what happens when we get angry and what we can do about it.
