Anger is a Storm (Emotion Series) is written and illustrated by Lauren Martin. In this story, the main character discovers all the ways anger finds its way into everyday life. Triggered by moments of not getting what is wanted, the child expresses anger in several ways, including screaming, stomping, and yelling. The child compares this negative emotion to the force of a storm. Is there a way the child can calm down before the storm of anger gets out of control? Can a child’s outbursts be managed, or will they feel that the emotion defines them? Does anger have a purpose like any other emotion? Is it okay to feel angry sometimes?

Anger is a Storm by Lauren Martin is an insightful picture book that will help kids understand that other children face anger issues just like they do. The bright and colorful illustrations show each emotion and reaction in a way that young children can understand. I love the different ways for kids to learn to control their anger. I recommend Anger is a Storm because of the valuable lesson that feeling angry is okay and the different techniques to help them calm down quickly. Young kids will love this story and learn a lot about their emotions and how to keep from reacting badly to almost any situation. The wording is simple enough for kids to follow along as they learn how to read.
