Firekeepers is a gentle, richly illustrated picture book that helps children understand and care for their 'inner fire' of anger. Using the simple metaphor of a fire that can warm, protect, or flare too big, the story follows a child as they notice what fuels their fire, such as worry, hurt, tiredness and shame, and discover safe ways to tend it instead of putting it out.With warm, accessible language, Firekeepers normalises anger as a protective feeling rather than 'naughtiness' or 'bad behaviour'. It invites children to notice early body signals, understand why outbursts happen, and discover four practical pathways for calming: water (movement), air (talking), earth (grounding), and rest (creative breaks).A detailed Parent and Teacher Note at the back of the book explains the neurobiology of anger, co-regulation, and why adult attunement matters most. Drawing on contemporary developmental science, it offers clear, compassionate guidance for responding to big feelings without shame or punishment.Firekeepers is ideal for children aged 4 to 8, and for the adults who care for them. It is perfect for bedtime reading, classrooms, counselling rooms, and any space where big feelings show up. This is the first book in The Keepers Series, a collection of stories that support children to understand their inner world so their fire can 'shine bright and kind'.
