The three books created thus far focus on anti bullying, anger management, dealing with anxiety, and political awareness within the United States. Anyone who has ever been frustrated and angry knows it can be hard to keep those feelings bottled up, especially when you’re the new kid at school. Monster Mas is ready to unleash his wrath on children who are taunting him. He’s got an explosive temper, and if he loses his cool, nobody will be happy. Before he reaches that point, a few teachers try to offer some strategies for Monster Mas to calm down. A final word of advice from a kind fellow classmate helps Monster Mas bring his mood under control, and by the end of the day, he goes through a surprising transformation. BIOGRAPHY:
As a teacher for the New York City Department of Education for 11 years, author Heather Arabadjis brings a unique perspective to this children’s book. She is currently a home instruction teacher but has taught students at all grade levels, including spending eight years in a classroom in the South Bronx. Arabadjis’ vision is to offer children fun ways of learning how to deal with social issues such as kindness and bullying. She hopes the book is a resource other teachers and parents can use to help children ask questions and discuss real-life situations.
