Anger Is A Hedgehog
By Debra Roy, LPC
Everyone feels angry sometimes...
Even a soft-bellied hedgehog with a kind heart.
Henry doesn't like how anger feels. It prickles. It pops. It makes him push others away - even when he doesn't mean to. When frustration builds and things don't go the way he hoped, Henry's big feelings start to grow... until they finally burst.
Told with gentle insight and rooted in real therapeutic wisdom, Anger Is A Hedgehog helps children explore the protective nature of anger and the importance of connection. Through Henry's story, young readers learn that big emotions don't make us bad - they make us human.
Perfect for children ages 5-9, this tender and empowering picture book invites kids to:
- Recognize what anger feels like in the body
- Understand that all feelings are welcome - even the tough ones
- Discover the power of repair, empathy, and self-kindness
Whether shared at home, in classrooms, or in counseling sessions, Anger Is A Hedgehog is a heartwarming addition to any emotional learning toolkit.
Includes a special section just for grown-ups.
At the back of the book, readers will find thoughtful guidance written by a licensed professional counselor - with conversation prompts, emotion regulation tools, and tips for supporting children through big feelings like anger.
Perfect for parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists who want to deepen connection and emotional learning at home or in practice.
