"Kanga, My Dragon of Anger" is one of four books in The Building Resilience picture book series. This series gives children, teachers and parents advice on how to deal with common situations and uncomfortable feelings. It also encourages parent-child discussion about difficult topics.
Some topics (feelings and even common life events such as death) are traditionally taboo or are challenging for adults to talk about. If adults are uncomfortable talking about issues or feelings, it is even more difficult for children to discuss them or to know how to effectively cope with situations.This range of books opens the communication pathways, in a fun way, and helps children and adults face matters without shame, embarrassment or stigma.
The author, Doctor Harmony, is an Australian psychiatrist and mother who has the desire to help build resilience in children by promoting awareness of feelings, positive communication and development of constructive coping skills. Having seen many adults who struggle with these issues, the hope is to prevent mental illness by promoting the development of these skills early in life.
Other books in series one include:
Jo, My Sad Hippo (A book about Sadness)
The Cat's Got My Tongue (A book about Shyness and Performance Anxiety)
My Pet Monster (A book about Worry)
