Anger is Like Armour
A Big Hug Book
Shona Innes, Írisz Agócs (Illustrator)
This thoughtful book helps children understand anger as a kind of armour we wear when we feel hurt, scared, or vulnerable. It gently explores the reasons behind angry feelings and offers reassurance that it's okay to feel anger, while also guiding children to express those feelings in safe and kind ways.
Why It’s Included
This title supports emotional literacy by validating anger as a normal human emotion and encouraging empathy for oneself and others. It aligns with our respectful parenting values, which prioritise understanding the emotions behind behaviours rather than punishing expressions of distress.
Who It’s For
A wonderful tool for children aged 4 to 8, especially those beginning to navigate big emotions. It offers helpful language for families committed to gentle discipline and co-regulation, and works well as part of a calm-down corner or bedtime routine.
