My Thoughts\
Sometimes when I’m Mad by Deborah Serani, Psy.D. was fascinating. I loved how Deborah Serani took something complicated and whittled it down to something everyone can understand and learn from.
Each page shows a different angle of how we can channel or redirect our anger into positive places. I liked the phrasing Deborah Serani used as even my youngest could read it and understand it and I personally LOVED the more in depth break down Deborah Serani gave at the back of the book. It was immensely helpful, and I thought she did a fantastic job explaining anger and its management in various stages of a life from infancy to school age children.
Very lovely story. And they illustrations were beautifully done.
The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a bit more of a story to the book.
4 Stars.
