“Tomás the Capybara Who Lost His Anger” is a thoughtful children’s story about emotions, self-awareness, and learning how to manage big feelings. When Tomás becomes frustrated and angry after breaking his bicycle, he wishes for his emotions to disappear. But when the red bird of anger flies away from his heart, Tomás soon discovers that something important is missing.

At school, Tomás struggles to stand up for himself, speak up when others take his things, and protect what matters to him. Through this meaningful adventure, children learn that anger is not a bad emotion—it can help us recognize injustice, set healthy boundaries, and defend ourselves respectfully.

This story is part of a series about the emotional birds of the heart and helps children understand their feelings through imagination and storytelling.

Perfect for:
• bedtime stories
• social-emotional learning (SEL)
• classroom discussions about feelings
• parents teaching kids about anger and boundaries
• screen-free storytelling time

A beautiful moral story that reminds children that every emotion has a purpose.
