Little Ricky is angry all the time. He wants everyone to know that he's tough, and won't listen to his parents.
Then he meets Phoenix, a boxing trainer who not only shows him how to throw a better punch, but also shows him how to use the ability to fight life instead of people.
After Ricky runs into trouble with the cool kids in his neighborhood, he realizes his training has changed him, and that he is able to handle the trouble without fighting.
When kids are aggressive they are communicating something. They are externalizing how they feel. The illustrations and text in this story show a troubled young boy, with the help of his mentor, doing just that. This book is of a great sensibility and I recommend it. - Carola Schmidt, Springer Nature author
