Children's emotional world is a rollercoaster - the sooner they learn coping strategies and how to navigate it, the better.
MAD is a good tool that can help children recognize, label, and diffuse anger - one of the most overwhelming and powerful emotions that occupy often children's fragile minds.
The author introduces the reader with a simple but solid concept - comparing children's minds with a garden.
The protagonist chosen is a cute and relatable character readers could effortlessly identify with.
The words chosen are easy to understand - especially in the way they are presented in the publication - in short but convincing sentences.
The shame of being mad is put aside - in this case, the author emphasizes how difficult it is for kids to understand and manage frustration and anger.
According to the author, the good thing is that there is always a mom nearby.
The illustrations are a wonderful addition and a good map of the narrative.
The character's face and body language are presented humorously - even in her anger - and will help the reader to relate with no trouble to the story.
Recommend.

This is a wonderful book for children (adults too!). It teaches how to get rid of persistent anger in a funny and helpful way. Really great. Niece and nephew (5 and 2) could not stop giggling. They related to this book.

Such a cute book with really remarkable illustrations. We all feel angry sometimes and don't know why. This book helps kids address these emotions. My kids really needed a book like this sometimes.
