Willow and the Big Loud Feeling: A Compass Crew Story About Anger, Calm-Down Skills, Making Things Right for Kids Ages 4-8: 1

When Ziggy accidentally knocks down Willow's tallest pinecone tower, a hot, loud feeling rushes through her. Willow wants to shout and stomp - but Nora helps her discover that anger is allowed, while hurting is not. Through a warm, reassuring story, Willow practices four child-friendly steps: pause her paws, move to a safe space, breathe or stomp safely, and use clear, kind words. Then she and Ziggy repair both the tower and their friendship. This full-color Compass Crew picture book helps children ages 4-8: - notice how anger feels in the body; - separate feelings from unsafe actions; - practice concrete calming choices; - apologize, communicate needs, and reconnect; - talk about big feelings with a trusted grown-up. Includes a child reflection page, Willow's four-step plan, and a short grown-up note.
