Angryman

Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of 2019

USBBY Outstanding International Book of 2020

There’s someone in the living room. 

It's Dad. 

It is Angryman.
 

Boj’s father can be very angry and violent. Boj calls this side of his father’s personality “Angryman.” When Angryman comes no one is safe. Until something powerful happens...

Gro Dahle’s astute text and Svein Nyhus’s bold, evocative art capture the full range of emotions that descend upon a small family as they grapple with “Angryman.”

With an important message to children who experience the same things as Boj: You are not alone. It’s not your fault. You must tell someone you trust. It doesn’t have to be this way!At once straightforward and yet lyrical, the third-person narrative is childlike and oftentimes heartbreaking.
