Peter Pufferfish is having fun by the coral reef—until his seashell tower topples down. Suddenly, his chest feels hot, his face turns red, and his body puffs up big and spiky. Peter is angry! But as he floats very still, something begins to change… his spines smooth, his chest calms, and his face softens. Soon Peter feels better—and he can play again with his friends.
This simple, colorful paperback book helps little readers (ages 2–6) recognize what anger feels like in their bodies. By watching Peter’s big feelings rise and then calm down, children learn that it’s okay to feel angry—and that understanding our own emotions helps us understand others too.

Parents teaching children to name and notice emotions
