Review
I am a psychotherapist and mother and find Angry Octopus indispensable. It does a wonderful job of guiding children and adults through a progressive relaxation exercise as well as conveying that angry feelings can be managed. It is clear, and the illustrations are inviting and helpful. For adults, it teaches relaxation skills in a down-to earth and non-intimidating fashion. --Rhonda Bryhn, MSW

Managing anger is an essential part of life. The Angry Octopus teaches children how to be in charge of the emotion called anger and by using their breath, shifting to a serene and calm space. --Marilyn Powers, Vice President The I Am Foundation

With all the demands of busy young lives that children face today, how nice that an octopus and a friendly sea child can model appropriate anger management in a fun, easy and peaceful method. --Lynne Goldman, Johannesen, Elementary School
