Anh's Anger

Gail Silver
Illustrated by Christiane Kromer

"Anh's Anger reminds us that anger is part of all of us and that mindful sitting and breathing can help transform it. Both adults and children will benefit from learning how to change an unhappy situation into a joyful one."—Thich Nhat Hanh

Ahn's Anger is an engaging story that offers children and caregivers a mindfulness-based practice for dealing with anger and other difficult emotions.

Anh, a five-year-old boy, comes to know his anger when they dance, play, sit and breathe together, actively creating a space for Anh to resolve an earlier conflict with his grandfather and understand the causes of a strong emotion.

Author Gail Silver is a former Child Advocate Attorney, and the founder and director of Yoga Child, where she teaches yoga classes, and meditation for children.

The story is beautifully illustrated with handmade collages by New York artist and award-winning children's book illustrator Christiane Krömer. Each collage is a mix of paper, silk, cardboard, and found materials.

ISBN: 978-1-888375-94-7, Hardcover, 40 pages.
