What's Allie All Along About

Publisher Summary

Poor Allie! She’s in a rage, stomping and smashing, throwing a tantrum, and having a fit. Is there a sweet little girl hiding somewhere under all the angry layers? With the help of her understanding big brother, she’s able to calm down, bit by bit, and become herself again. The illustrations’ varying hues and vibrant colors capture the powerful feelings that young children can’t always express in words.

    I love the overall idea of this book—it walks you through some of the stages of anger a young girl has when her crayon breaks as her older brother tries to help her calm down. However, I'm not a fan of all of the methods they suggest to help her get less angry (punching a pillow, squeezing something really tight). I did like the steps to count down from ten and take deep breaths, but I think this could have had better tips to learn emotional regulation (like talking through the emotion). I also don't love that when the girl gets mad she "stomped, smashed, crashed, and threw a tantrum, a fuss, and a fit." I felt like that page condoned those behaviors when you're mad.

    This is a great book for giving a glimpse at some different techniques for coping with and working through anger in productive ways that are accessible to children and don't condone being angry or lashing out at other people! Watching the little "monster" transition colors and work through the rainbow from red back to cooler colors and finally back to being just a little girl is a fun way to see Allie's progress through her emotions.
