Ravi’s Roar (Paperback)

Ravi’s Roar (Paperback)

Stories that externalise emotions help children make sense of feelings that can otherwise feel overwhelming. By turning Ravi’s anger into a “roaring tiger,” the book gives children a concrete way to recognise, talk about, and reflect on big emotions. Repetition and familiar emotional patterns support understanding over time, while the focus on repair and reconnection aligns closely with early childhood intervention approaches to emotional development.
