Summary

An engaging story that uses imaginative metaphors to explore a child’s anger when his mom tells him “no.”

Do you know how I feel when I hear NO?

Kids hate the word “no”! It can make them feel mad and sad, turning them into a dragon that breathes fire, a mischievous wizard, and a raging volcano. It can make them want to destroy everything in their path. With a parent’s help, together they can find the best way to turn a NO into a YES.

Includes a Reader’s Note with more information about helping children cope with big feelings associated with hearing “no.”
