Reviews
There are Some People who are behind with the science and believe Wrong Things about anger. Sally Donovan is different. She shares True Facts about big feelings and is helping children to understand and manage their emotions one book at a time. -- Jeanine Connor, psychodynamic psychotherapist in private practice and author of Youre Not My F*cking Mother and other things Gen Z say in therapy (PCCS, 2024)
The Strange and Curious Guide to Anger combines a relatable story with practical information to help 8-12 year olds understand anger. Donovans respectful and normalising approach encourages a curiosity around anger and is likely to facilitate helpful discussion between children and their grown ups. -- Fiona Zandt, author of the Creative Ways to Help Children series
