Anger Is a Hedgehog

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.
