God Made My Feelings Series

Leo the Lion Feels Angry is a compassionate, developmentally informed emotional wellbeing resource that helps children understand anger, notice what it feels like in their bodies, and learn healthy, safe ways to express big feelings — all while discovering that God is near, steady, and a place of calming comfort.

This resource teaches children that anger is a normal emotion, not a “bad” one — and that they can feel angry without losing connection, safety, or self-worth.

Perfect for ages 3–8, Leo’s story makes emotional regulation accessible, empowering, and spiritually grounding.

What This Resource Helps Children Learn

Through Leo’s relatable frustrations and big emotions, children learn:

• that anger is a natural human feeling
• how anger builds inside their bodies
• how to name anger before it becomes overwhelming
• safe ways to release tension and express big feelings
• how to pause, breathe, and calm their hearts
• how to reconnect after anger
• that God is close, patient, and ready to help

This strengthens self-regulation, emotional literacy, impulse control, body awareness, resilience, and spiritual confidence.

Why Children Love It

Children connect deeply with Leo because:

• he is instantly relatable — expressive, warm, and full of big feelings
• the story does not shame or punish him
• illustrations show the real rise and fall of anger in a gentle, child-safe way
• they see a character who gets angry just like they do
• they learn empowering techniques through his journey
• colouring pages allow for safe expression and sensory release

Leo makes children feel understood — and equipped.
