内容提要

莫名的怒火上升，温度不断加热，熊熊大火彷若要吞蚀掉周遭的一切事物。小时候总是容易乱发脾气，一点小事情总是让人无法忍耐。胸口总有个恶魔藏在那里似的，让人全身都不舒服，就是把别人生吞下去也有的勇气。负面的情绪像是座即将爆发的火山，随时都可用愤怒与不满的熔浆给喷出。生气、不安、沮丧、难过、趋于平缓、平静。原来生气是有这么多不同的错综复杂的情绪存在着。

大人们总是容易压抑小朋友的情绪，容易忽视小朋友的负面情绪原因，总教我们要有好脾气，然而不是每个不满都是没有原因的。如何适当的处理生气的情绪，与不要一直陷入焦灼的不安与气氛中，也是我们该正视的。 

透过菲菲生气里的戏剧化与火红色的高度的愤怒，让每个小朋友都知道这样不快乐与情绪化，是每个人都会必须面临到的。但是别再害怕，每个人都会有开心和不开心的样子，虽然貌似可怕，但是却是可以逐渐改善你不满的压力与情绪。虽然大家都无法去完全的掌控自我的过度情绪化，但是可以去了解它、看待它。至少当我们不快乐和极度不满的时候，可以不要再完全掉入这样的流沙里，爬都爬不起来了。
