It's all right to feel mad-but you don't have to stay angry.
Kusa's day on the savanna starts off on the wrong foot. The water hole is dry, her friends aren't there, and bees are swarming. One little frustration follows another until Kusa feels as though her whole day is ruined-and it has barely begun!
Kusa soon discovers that her friends are dealing with frustrating situations of their own. Then a wise voice helps each of them-including Kusa-discover positive tools to calm down, make healthy choices, and turn the day around.
Kusa Gets Her Mad Out! is a charming, reassuring picture book that shows children that everyone feels frustrated or mad sometimes-and that's okay. What matters is learning healthy ways to handle the little things that bug us before they grow into bigger feelings.
Ideal for ages 5-7 and K-1 classrooms, this playful social-emotional learning story helps children recognize frustration, express their feelings, make calming choices, and build lifelong coping skills.
Bonus reflection questions, calming strategies, and fascinating animal facts help parents, teachers, counselors, and caregivers continue the conversation, learning, and fun.
Part of Kusa & Friends-Stories that grow kind hearts, brave voices, and confident minds.
Kusa Gets Her Mad Out! received First Place in Growing Pains, Second Place in School Issues, and Honorable Mentions in Early Readers, Best Illustrations, and Health in the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards. It is also part of the Firebird Award-winning Kusa & Friends series.
Little frustrations happen-but positive choices can keep them from becoming bigger feelings!
As mayor, I am often asked to read to schoolchildren. I am excited to add Kusa Gets Her Mad Out! to my list of books. We all can keep a positive attitude and look at the bright side and choose constructive ways to deal with angry feelings.
-Mayor Joe Schember, Erie, Pennsylvania
As a mom, I love how the author shares positive messages about how we treat ourselves and others. Kusa Gets Her Mad Out! is another excellent story-teaching children that bad things happen sometimes and it's okay to get angry...but we have the power to turn it around.
