About the book

Ali is almost done with his grand Lego tower. He steps out of the room to fetch the finishing piece, and comes back to find his sister has accidentally knocked it down. Seeing his tower in pieces stirs up many feelings all through his body.

Ali discovers a unique way to calm his bubbling, boiling anger. With bright, expressive illustrations, the story shows how self-awareness helps children name what they feel and manage it in a healthy way.

It is a gentle starting point for talking about feelings at home or in the classroom: what anger feels like, where we notice it, and what we can do next.
