A Social Superhero Book About Managing Hot Emotions
Frustrated Flamingo flaps, squawks, and steams whenever things don't go her way. Towers tumble, games go wrong, and her feathers get ruffled fast!

Perfect for parents, teachers, and counselors looking for a playful way to help kids develop emotional regulation skills.
