In this story, the main character discovers all the ways anger finds its way into everyday life. Triggered by moments of not getting what is wanted, the child expresses anger in several ways, including screaming, stomping, and yelling. The child compares this negative emotion to the force of a storm. Is there a way the child can calm down before the storm of anger gets out of control? Can a child's outbursts be managed, or will they feel that the emotion defines them? Does anger have a purpose like any other emotion? Is it okay to feel angry sometimes?
