A little rabbit describes some of the things that make her angry - when things don't go as planned, when she is told to do her chores, when a teacher reprimands her. But there is a difference between feeling angry and acting on that feeling. Instead of saying something mean, yelling, or hitting, the little rabbit can remove herself from the situation, do something active to release her energy, or talk to an adult to help resolve a problem. Spelman reassures children that feeling angry is okay. She also stresses that children can take control of their anger and figure out ways to prevent these feelings in the future. 

Perfectly written for the youngest children, the books in the The Way I Feel series reassure kids that their emotions are normal and okay. Gentle text and illustrations featuring loveable animals encourage children to talk about their feelings and provide positive ways to deal with various emotions. Spelman's writing is comforting and sensitive throughout.
