The Storm I Can’t Control is a heartfelt children’s book about Mateo, an 11-year-old boy living with DMDD (Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder). Mateo feels like there’s a storm inside him that makes him yell, lie, and slam doors—even though he loves his family and feels crushed with guilt afterward.
Told through Mateo’s honest voice, this story helps kids understand that big emotions are real and that making mistakes doesn’t make them bad. It shows how love, patience, and teamwork can help calm even the fiercest storms.
Perfect for children struggling with emotional regulation, and for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want to start meaningful conversations about feelings, forgiveness, and hope.
