This illustrated children’s story by K.I. Al-Ghani helps children understand anger, big emotions and emotional regulation in a simple, visual and accessible way. Using the idea of a “red beast” that grows when feelings become overwhelming, the story helps children recognise anger triggers, understand behaviour and learn positive ways to manage difficult emotions such as frustration, anxiety, stress and worry.
The book is especially helpful for autistic children, children with Asperger syndrome, ADHD or kids who struggle with communication, behaviour or emotional wellbeing. It encourages children to identify feelings, express emotions safely and develop calming strategies and coping skills that can be used at home, in school or in everyday situations.
Suitable for parents, carers, teachers, social workers, therapists and SEND professionals, this emotional literacy resource supports social and emotional development, behaviour support, mental wellbeing and self-awareness. It can help children who find it difficult to manage anger, control reactions, cope with change or understand how emotions affect behaviour and relationships.
Written in child-friendly language with engaging illustrations, the story is widely used to support autism support work, anger management, emotional wellbeing, social skills, communication development and positive behaviour support for children with additional needs.
