A forest comic about finding another way through anger

When the sun’s heat makes Zilbo angry, his usual response—biting whatever he blames—doesn’t offer a solution. With help from friends, he explores another way to manage overwhelming feelings: art. The story brings together emotional self-management, friendship, and visual storytelling in a Level 2 I Can Read Comic. Its comic format and expanded vocabulary are presented for children beginning to read more independently while still benefiting from support.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning independent readers who still appreciate some reading support
  • Young children interested in illustrated comics and animal characters
  • Families looking for a story that introduces managing anger and overwhelming feelings

Book overview

Kids will fall in love with the next book set in Zilbo's Forest, a humorous, heartfelt, and vibrantly illustrated Level 2 I Can Read Comic series, geared toward kids who can read on their own, but still need a little help sometimes.

Zilbo gets angry. . .a lot.

The only thing that makes him feel better is biting the cause of this feeling, no matter what it is--a chair, a TV, a clock. One day, the sun's heat makes Zilbo angry, but try as he might, he can't figure out how to bite it. After some creative thinking and help from friends, Zilbo discovers that maybe biting isn't the only thing that makes his overwhelming feelings go away.

With a light touch and a lot of honesty, up-and-coming cartoonist Summer Benton's Zilbo's Forest: How to Bite the Sun encourages visual literacy while demonstrating the power of friendship for our littlest readers.

This Level 2 I Can Read Comic is:

  • Perfect for Developing Readers: Expanded vocabulary and more visual variety helps readers gain confidence reading comics independently.
  • ​​​​​CHARACTERS TO LOVE: Zilbo returns in this sweet, engaging story along with old and new friends from the previous book, Zilbo's Forest: What's Up with That
  • VIBRANT, ENGAGING ART: Summer's stunning artwork is filled with cute animals and an eye-catching color palette that younger readers will find hard to resist.
  • EXPERT-VETTED: The I Can Read Comics program was made in consultation with educators and librarians.
  • SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING: Zilbo works hard on his self-management as he discovers art as a way to cope with his overwhelming feelings.
