Will she be able to calm down? Will the picnic be ruined? Read along to find out and discover the special techniques Dad teaches Naya to help her calm down and talk through her feelings.

As a special bonus, the end of the book contains three anger reduction activities, including a calming breathing technique, PLUS dialogic questions to deepen children’s engagement with the story. These simple, yet effective exercises will empower young readers to use their words to articulate their emotions, find their calm, and practice anger management.
