The Emotional Literacy Series: Anger

An explosive adventure of the imagination, Painting the Fire helps young Ryan face and understand the causes of his anger.Ever since school started, the class bully has been picking on Ryan, but when Ryan finally strikes back, the teacher marches him straight to the principal's office. Left alone, Ryan feels like he'll explode if he doesn't do something. Storming out of the office, he takes refuge in an empty art room and buries his head in his arm. When he looks, Ryan finds himself in a strange room, watching a mysterious woman collect the colors of the rainbow in paint pots. Drawn to the magical colors, Ryan paints an enormous volcano. Suddenly, with a noise like rolling thunder, the volcano erupts and blasts Ryan straight into an amazing adventure that will change his life. Colorful illustrations deftly express Ryan's feelings in a perceptive story that encourages children to express their feelings of anger rather than keep them bottled up inside. This set includes Painting the Fire (hard-cover picture book), a child's activity book and a parent/teacher guide. 3 books total!
