Bressie's third picture book helps children manage anger when things don't go their way.

When Sam's mum takes her phone back, Sam begins to feel really cross ...

So Grandad teaches her a breathing technique which puts out the angry flames that are making her feel hot and bothered. It really works and soon Sam is feeling much better - and enjoying a great day at the beach with her family.

The Chill Skill equips children with another really useful mindfulness tool from Bressie and is beautifully illustrated by Emma Proctor.
