Unlocking Your Anger Superpowers with When I Feel Angry

Have you ever felt so mad that your hands ball into fists, your face turns hot, and the words just explode out of you—like a volcano erupting? (Yeah, me too.)

That’s why I love Dr. Sharie Coombes’ When I Feel Angry—it’s like a superhero handbook for big feelings! Instead of saying “Don’t be angry!” (which, let’s be honest, never works), this book gives us real tools—like:

🔥 “Anger Detectives” – What made the fuse light? (Was it your little sister wrecking your LEGO tower? A friend not sharing?)
🌊 Cool-Down Tricks – Squeeze a stress ball? Breathe like a dragon? Scribble a mad picture? All options on the table.
💡 Flip the Script – Instead of yelling “I HATE YOU!”, try “I feel FRUSTRATED because…” (Game. Changer.)

The best part? The bright, doodle-like illustrations make it feel like your wise (and funny) big cousin is saying: “Hey, it’s okay—here’s how we deal.”

Try This After Reading:

1. “Anger Map” – Draw where in your body you feel anger (fire in your belly? Pounding head?).
2. Superhero Pose – Stand like Wonder Woman and take 3 deep breaths (science says this actually calms your brain).
3. Mad Libs Rant – Fill in: “I felt angry when ______, so next time I’ll ______!”

Final Thought: Anger isn’t “bad”—it’s a signal (like a fire alarm!). This book teaches us to listen to it, not fight it. And that? That’s a lifelong superpower.
