Liz Tames a Dragon (and Her Anger)

By Stephanie Painter

Anger is a normal emotion, but one that can be difficult to learn to control. The picture book Liz Tames a Dragon (and her Anger) will help children find healthy ways to manage their angry feelings. In the story, Liz finds that sharing life with a sister isn't always easy. She becomes so angry that her anger morphs her into a fire-breathing dragon. Liz is certain that her sister has cast a magic spell until she realizes only she has the power to tame this dragon. Illustrations capture anger, confusion, and cooperative actions that lead to peacemaking. An Activity Guide for Parents and Child Therapists includes art, games, and activities that will help kids learn how to verbalize their emotions and recognize physical cues of anger. "A children's book that is not only fun to read but also therapeutic in nature is a real treasure," says Susan Elswick EdD. Author Stephanie Painter holds an M.S. in Counseling.
