Summary:
          When Sophie gets angry- really, really angry she throws a f it and tries to smash everything in her path.  She gets angry when her sister takes her toys and she runs out of the house far from everyone.  She runs to a beach and hides in the tree until she feels better.  Everyone handles anger differently.  What do you do when you’re angry?

This would be a great reflection time for small students.  You can ask them what they do when they get angry and either have a group discussion or have them write about a time they got mad and illustrate it.
