Hi Richard,

 

Another book that might work is Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman. It’s about an African American girl who wants to be Peter Pan in the school play but is told she can’t because she’s a girl and black.

It doesn’t deal as much with anger issues as disappointment. Ultimately, it’s a great story that inspires kids to be whatever they want to be.

Also try The Little Brute Family but Russell Hoban. It always worked with my family.

I always liked Charlotte Zolotow’s The Quarreling Book.  Everyone is behaves with anger to the next family member, until the dog responds with unconditional love, and happiness is passed back up the queue.  The only issue might be the father is present in the family and is responsive, not a likely scenario for these youngsters.  It does, however, show how feelings are spread unconsciously, and how important it is to be mindful  of one’s actions – in a very cute and funny way.

Hello, and happy summer!

A patron/friend is currently at a women's shelter with her young daughter.  There are many other families there as well, but very little for the kids to do.  She noticed that many of them are quite angry and there are few, if any, books that may be helpful to them.

Can you recommend some titles that this mom can read to the other kids that are positive, happy, self-affirming, hopeful, etc...?  Jamie Lee Curtis', I'm Gonna Like Me, and Karen Beaumont's, I Like Myself, come to mind, but I'm not sure what else to suggest.

Your insights are welcome.  Many thanks in advance.  Have a good week!
