This beautifully illustrated picture book is about the feeling of being angry. How does Rambam feel - and what is that feeling called? Where does it come from...? And the important question: what now? Read all about it in Rambam Is Angry! Rambam Is Angry is a full-color picture book, sized 8 x 8 inches. Pompom and The Circle of Feelings is a series about emotions and feelings. Can you already recognize what you're feeling? Where does it come from - and how do you handle it? Helping children understand what feelings are and how to recognize their emotions is essential for their emotional development. Rambam is intense and passionate, experiencing emotions at full volume. He's curious about his feelings but initially lacks the emotional vocabulary to express them. Though quick to anger, he's equally capable of joy and excitement. Rambam is determined and energetic, but his emotions often overwhelm his logical thinking. He's loyal to friends even when upset, and has a natural honesty about his feelings once he learns to express them. MOTIVATIONS: Rambam is driven by a desire to be understood. He wants to make sense of the big feelings inside him that seem to take control. He seeks connection with others but gets frustrated when communication breaks down. Underneath his anger is often a wish for things to be fair or to go his way. As he develops, he becomes motivated to find better ways to express himself. INTERNAL CONFLICT: Rambam struggles with the gap between feeling and expressing. His emotions arrive suddenly and powerfully, but he lacks the tools to process them constructively. He wants to connect with others but pushes them away when upset. He questions whether his anger is acceptable or if he should hide it. He fears his big feelings might make others dislike him, creating tension between authentic expression and social acceptance. STRENGTHS: Rambam possesses remarkable emotional honesty - he doesn't pretend to feel differently than he does. His energy and expressiveness make him engaging and authentic. He has the courage to face his feelings rather than suppress them. Once he begins learning emotional vocabulary, he shows a natural talent for describing sensations in vivid, physical terms. His persistence helps him work through challenges rather than giving up. WEAKNESSES: Rambam struggles with impulse control and emotional regulation. His initial communication skills are limited, reducing him to growls when upset. He can become so absorbed in his feelings that he loses awareness of others around him. His physical expressions of anger (stomping, door slamming) can be disruptive. He has difficulty transitioning from emotional states and needs time to process his feelings before moving on. CHARACTER ARC: Rambam begins unable to verbalize his anger, trapped in physical expressions and growls. Through the story, he gradually finds words for his feelings, first describing physical sensations (wanting to stomp, shout, run) and later connecting these to emotional states. As he practices expressing himself, he gains confidence and self-awareness. By the end, he understands that anger is a normal emotion that can be acknowledged and expressed constructively, giving him a sense of emotional mastery rather than being controlled by his feelings.
