An illustrated collection of thought-provoking stories about how anger doesn't always have to be angry, with illustrations from Marc Boutavant.
In ten thoughtful, philosophical, absurd tales by master storyteller Toon Tellegen, the forest animals--from squirrel to scarab beetle--spend their days as friends do, with birthday parties, writing letters, visiting, dancing, or sometimes all alone. Each day brings emotions that are always worth exploring, although not always easy, and each story reveals new layers through the expressive, touching and funny illustrations of Marc Boutavant.
This wry and nuanced illustrated storybook gently shows that anger, in all its shapes and sizes, is a natural, necessary and often misunderstood emotion. Written by one of the greatest Dutch authors for children, this wise and gently written collection is perfect for children wanting to explore and learn more about difficult emotions and feelings, making it an ideal book to read together with family or in the classroom, for readers aged 6-12 years.
A challenging exercise in decoding strong human emotions--but worth the effort.--Kirkus Reviews

Praise for No One Is Angry Today:
A challenging exercise in decoding strong human emotions - but worth the effort.--Kirkus Reviews
Powerful messages arise, as when, while considering what a firebelly toad's anger might feel like, a tortoise offers: Or it might be something heavy.... so heavy nobody can lift it. The illustrations play with contrasts and shadows, complementing the moody atmosphere.--Foreword Reviews
