Like the other book Calm Your Roar Like a Dinosaur in this Dino Power! series, our young dinosaur teaches readers to “up-regulate” their mood through active body movement.

I loved the first book, Calm Your Roar, and I also really liked this one. I just liked Calm more. I think this could be a powerful text for teachers to use to help students self-regulate. It’s not just about bottling things up, but learning how to manage all your emotions well, both good and bad.
