Azzie's Red Roar: A Children's Book About Feelings, Dealing with Anger, and Big Emotions

Does your child struggle with big feelings like anger? Do tantrums and meltdowns leave you both feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure what to do next?

Azzie's Red Roar is a heartwarming, healing story that helps children ages 3-7 understand and move through anger with kindness, empathy, and emotional safety. When Azzie the Alligator feels his insides heat up, his claws clench, and his tail twitch-it all builds into one mighty tantrum. But instead of being scolded or shut down, Azzie is met with compassion.

Mebu, the gentle guardian of feelings, appears with his glowing lantern-a light that turns red for anger. Through soft words and steady love, Mebu shows Azzie that anger isn't "bad" or scary. It's just a feeling that needs space, care, and understanding.
