It also differentiates between 'big and little' problems' and encourages kids to self-regulate their emotions.

Fergal And The Bad Temper
In this adorable picture book, a dragon named Fergal does not like being told what to do and starts to snort fire when he gets angry. After one particularly difficult day, his friends and family help teach him to calm down. I love that this book shows how Fergal feels bad for losing his temper and the people around him offer a way for him to cope with his big feelings.
