Anger is OKAY Violence is NOT, written by Julie Federico and illustrated by Glori Alexander, is a thoughtful, much-needed addition to pre-school teachers' and social workers' libraries. With vibrant, TV-cartoon-like illustrations and simple, direct text appropriate for even the youngest children, this picture book explores the complexity and vitality of anger, and when it is appropriately expressed and when it is not. True emotional intelligence is something recognized and respected but rarely taught and discussed, even among adults. The goal of this worthy project is to engage children in a safe, non-threatening exploration of complicated, often-frightening feelings. Federico lets kids know that anger is normal, though managing its expression can be complicated. Clear language and child-friendly art invite a direct, straightforward examination of when anger is appropriate and how to safely express it through art, physical activity, tears. What's not OK is hitting, biting, throwing and hurting. The book gently and clearly reminds its vulnerable audience that adults can find the journey just as tricky as children do. If an adult hurts a child or someone they love, Federico instructs her young readers that telling a trusted adult is a safe and right action for them to take. Needless to say, this is complex emotional territory, and Federico's tone is perfect: even, loving, simple, clear. Educators and caregivers may well find this a helpful tool in eliciting important conversations, and the book includes contact information for The National Domestic Violence Hotline and other respected sources of support. This book is also available in Spanish. Julie Federico Domestic Violence Prevention Expert juliefederico dot com.…

Professional Background Julie holds a Master of Science in Counseling and a Bachelor of Social Work from Indiana University. She began her career as a middle school counselor in Jefferson County, Colorado, where she was a first responder during the 1999 Columbine High School shooting—an experience that profoundly shaped her commitment to trauma-informed care and violence prevention in schools. Her years in school counseling gave her unique insight into the emotional and physical risks children face daily. This front-line experience catalyzed her transition into prevention-focused authorship, allowing her to expand her impact beyond the walls of the school system. Publications and Impact Julie is the author of several acclaimed children’s books that address sensitive topics through clear, age-appropriate language. Her first book, Some Parts Are NOT for Sharing, which teaches young children about body safety and consent, has sold over 18,000 copies and continues to be widely used by parents, educators, and child advocacy professionals. Her titles include: Child Abuse Prevention: Some Parts Are NOT for Sharing, Algunas Partes No Son Para Compartir Domestic Violence Prevention: Anger is OKAY Violence is NOT/El enojo está BIEN La violencia NO (Spanish Edition) School Violence Prevention: The Bad Guys in the Book of Colors Anger Management: Anger is OKAY, Violence is NOT/El enojo está BIEN La violencia NO (Spanish Edition) Friendship & Social Skills: Friends are Wonderful Diversity and Inclusion: God Made Me Black Because He is Creative Federico, J. (2021). How to talk to toddlers about child abuse prevention. US-China Law Review, 18(6), 274–278. Her books have been recognized with multiple awards, including first-place honors from the Colorado Independent Publishers Association EVVY Awards (2013) and honorable mentions from the New England Book Festival (2014). In 2025, Anger is OKAY, Violence is NOT won the International Impact Book Award. Advocacy and Public Speaking Julie is a sought-after national speaker, presenting at conferences, schools, and parent groups across the U.S. Her prevention message has been featured at the Prevent Child Abuse Conference, Head Start programs, elementary schools, and national advocacy events such as the “Shattering the Silence” U.S. Tour. She has also presented at the Hawaii International Summit on Preventing, Assessing & Treating Trauma Across the Lifespan. Known for her direct yet compassionate approach, Julie equips adults with practical strategies for addressing abuse prevention with young children. Her work is grounded in trauma-informed practices and focuses on breaking the silence that often surrounds child abuse. Mission and Philosophy Julie believes that prevention begins with education and that even the most difficult topics can be addressed with young children when delivered in a thoughtful, developmentally appropriate way. Her mission is to ensure that all children understand body safety, boundaries, and their right to speak up—empowering them to protect themselves and others.
