Me Enoja
Description
The Spanish-language edition of bestselling Angry Me, in which a child tells us what makes her angry and how she tries to let the anger come and go. An artful starting point for conversations about strong feelings.
"I get angry," says a little girl, looking fiercely in the mirror. Sometimes she gets angry when someone is mean and tries to take her toy away, when it feels unfair that there's not enough time to go swimming, when she's tired and just wants to go home, or when the kids at school leave her out, hurting her feelings.
When she's angry, she tries to remember to use her words -- even though that doesn't always work. Sometimes she can't find the right words, or the words don't come out the way she intends. But sometimes words do help, and when her anger melts away a new feeling can blossom.
Sandra Feder's cleverly constructed text presents different situations in which a child might feel angry, creating a nuanced look at anger and its many underlying emotions. Rahele Jomepour Bell's illustrations show a loveable, angry little girl, brimming with personality, who learns how to express herself as she moves through her feelings.
