When Anger Roared
Book 1 in The Forest of Feelings Series
By Kelly FaloonWhen Milo’s sandcastle is destroyed, a fiery lion named Anger comes roaring to life!
At first, Anger feels too big, too loud, and too hot to handle—but with a few deep dragon breaths, Milo learns how to calm his body, listen to his feelings, and use his words instead of his roar.

Told through warm and expressive illustrations, When Anger Roared helps children recognize anger as a normal and necessary emotion—one that signals need, protects boundaries, and invites understanding. Instead of labeling anger as “bad,” this story shows that it can be a powerful teacher when guided with care and compassion.


A Gentle Guide for Big FeelingsChildren often experience anger before they have the words to explain it. In this beautifully written story, author Kelly Faloon helps young readers and their grown-ups explore what anger feels like, why it shows up, and how to manage it in healthy, safe ways.

Through Milo’s friendship with Anger the Lion, children learn that strong emotions don’t have to be scary—they can be understood, soothed, and expressed through kindness and connection.


What Kids Will LearnEmotional How to notice what anger feels like in their bodies (a fast heartbeat, clenched fists, a “roaring” feeling inside).

How to practice simple, effective tools like dragon breaths, gentle movement, and positive self-talk.

Empathy & How to recognize anger as a signal, not a problem—and to listen to what it’s trying to say.

Communication & How to use words instead of actions to express needs, apologize, and reconnect after conflict.

By normalizing big feelings, When Anger Roared helps children—and the adults who love them—build lasting emotional intelligence.


Why This Book MattersMany children are told not to be angry. But when anger is ignored or punished, it doesn’t go away—it grows.
When Anger Roared gently reframes anger as a helpful inner voice that deserves to be heard, teaching that every emotion has a purpose.
