The Roar

A beautiful book about managing anger from the bestselling creators of While We Can't Hug.

A quarter of a million copies sold in the series! Our favourite Hedgehog and Tortoise are back, helping children with their big feelings of today.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
There were so many things that Tortoise wanted to do.
So many games to play and rocks to climb.

Oops.

Tortoise was stuck.
Being stuck made Tortoise cross.

Tortoise is not having a good day and now he's stuck in a hole and and is far too cross for hugs. Hedgehog sits and waits and then makes Tortoise laugh - taking the time to let the moment pass, and acknowledge how Tortoise feels.
