5.0 out of 5 stars Read This Book to Your Children, Please! Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2012 Verified Purchase Again, author Julie K. Federico advocates for young ones. In her first book, Some Parts are Not for Sharing, she educates about body safety using a pair of amazing fish to illustrate her important story. You'll meet those same adorable fish in her newest book, Anger is Okay Violence is Not. Designed for preschoolers, subjects of anger and violence are discussed in easy-to-understand ways and with suggestions, for the little ones, of what to do. Statistics are grim for children in households where anger and violence happen. As a health professional, I say this children's book needs to find its way to every home, every preschool and every library. -Judy Martin-Urban, Nurse Practitioner 5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful book Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020 Verified Purchase Very hard to talk to a 2 yr old about violence in a way where they can comprehend what it is at all but this book helps a lot. AManningTop Contributor: 5.0 out of 5 stars Great for small children and very relateable! Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2016 Verified Purchase This is a perfect book for small children who have witnessed domestic violence or struggle with angry/aggressive behaviors. I am a children's therapist and I always find that children would rather read about a story about an animal rather than a human anyday! The book is small and the illustrations are vibrant. Overall, a great book! Samantha 5.0 out of 5 stars Short story and straight to the point. Perfect resource Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2021 Verified Purchase Even though this was written by American writers and the language seems different to what me may use, it's still a great resource for parents, carers and those who work with children. The pictures are eye catching and the sentences short and to the point which is sometimes just what's needed. I'd highly recommend.
