Jake The Firedrake by Chandele Morris
“Jake the FireDrake” is an awesome, heart‑pumping adventure that grabs kids (and grown‑ups) by the soul! Jake is buzzing with excitement to strut his brand‑new dragon shirt at school, thinkin’ his friends will go wild over it. But the day flips the script when teasing sparks his frustration and his emotions heat up fast—so fast that Jake literally transforms into a fire‑breathing drake, flames shootin’ from his snout, showin’ how big feelings can turn a normal day into a blazin’ chaos. With the gentle guidance of Ms. Hart and the support of his friends, Jake learns cool‑down techniques, breathing tricks, and ways to take charge of his feelings. The story teaches children that life does not always follow their plans, urging them to manage their emotions, particularly anger, and to adapt to challenges.
The rhythmic, engaging text makes emotional regulation feel like a fun song, helping children understand and manage anger, sensory overload, and frustration while building empathy and kindness. It’s a neurodiversity‑affirming gem that sparks meaningful talks about emotions, behavior, and emotional intelligence.
Perfect for parents, teachers, therapists, or counselors, this SEL picture book is a must‑have for home libraries, classrooms, or counseling sessions. Kids will grab the coping skills they need right away and feel empowered to handle their emotions like a superhero!
