Here comes Tilly Panda, the little whirlwind who shows all children how we can handle anger together. Tilly, the panda cub, is a rather temperamental little red panda. Tilly can zip around and climb well; she joyfully rushes off with a loud hello, she is brave and shows what she doesn’t like. Tilly's desire for autonomy and her will are strong, but her frustration threshold is still low. Time and again, she feels the anger in her belly. When her older siblings tease her about how babyish her toys are, Tilly gets angry. When Mama asks her to wait because the baby brother needs to be taken care of, Tilly gets angry. Even when there’s bread instead of pizza or when it’s craft time instead of playtime at daycare, Tilly gets angry. And sometimes the anger overwhelms the little panda cub so much that she stomps and screams. Then she wants to scratch, bite, and throw things. But how good it is that Mama knows what it’s like to have anger in her belly. And she also knows that we can’t banish the anger. But we can listen to it so it can become smaller. “Yes, that’s how it is with anger: It shows us something, and that’s good!”

Following the bestselling successes of “And what do you feel, Kangaroo?” and “Why are you crying so much, little crocodile?” here’s a new helpful picture book by family expert Nora Imlau about the feelings and needs of our children and how we can support them as adults.

An important family theme: Supporting the emotional development of children. It supports, strengthens, and encourages both young and old. An ideal conversation starter. A lovable identification figure that helps all children feel they are not alone and that their outbursts are not wrong. Dynamically told in rhymes that are easy to remember. Expressively illustrated with empathy and a keen sense for focus and detail. For all fans of Quirin, Juli, Nora Imlau, and Lisa Rammensee.
