Feelings Are Friends™ Series

Book 1: Anger Is A Hedgehog

By Debra Roy, LPC

Henry the hedgehog has a soft belly, a kind heart… and sometimes, really big feelings.

When things don’t go the way he hoped, Henry’s anger starts to build — prickly, loud, and hard to control. But maybe anger isn’t something to fear… maybe it’s trying to protect him.

Told with warmth and rooted in real therapeutic insight, Anger Is A Hedgehog helps children understand and navigate anger with compassion and connection.

Perfect for kids ages 5–9, this gentle story supports emotional learning at home, in schools, or in counseling settings.

💛 Includes a special section just for grown-ups.

At the back of the book, readers will find thoughtful guidance written by a licensed professional counselor — with conversation prompts, emotion regulation tools, and tips for supporting children through big feelings like anger.

Perfect for parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists who want to deepen connection and emotional learning at home or in practice.
