"If you are in a bad mood, dance." - Tony, owner of the Big Baboon Café and Disco
We've all boiled and fumed and raged and screeched and roared and stamped and thumped. We've all had mean words spray out of our mouths. Welcome to planet human!
Join Ordinary Jo and friends, who are here to guide you through the strange and curious world of anger. As you read this book, you will discover how dropping an accidental fart can be a bit like dropping a hot, angry temper, how to defend against an Attack of the Angries, and how screaming 'BUMHOLES' can actually relieve pain!
Full of brilliant advice - including a chapter on terrible advice you should take no notice of - this book shows why anger is nothing to be ashamed of, and is a part of being human.

Press Reviews
Jeanine Connor, psychodynamic psychotherapist in private practice and author of ‘You’re Not My F*cking Mother’ and other things Gen Z say in therapy (PCCS, 2024)
There are 'Some People' who are behind with the science and believe 'Wrong Things' about anger. Sally Donovan is different. She shares True Facts about big feelings and is helping children to understand and manage their emotions one book at a time.
Fiona Zandt, author of the Creative Ways to Help Children series
The Strange and Curious Guide to Anger combines a relatable story with practical information to help 8-12 year olds understand anger. Donovan's respectful and normalising approach encourages a curiosity around anger and is likely to facilitate helpful discussion between children and their grown ups.
Fostertalk Magazine
