Description

There’s someone in the living room. It’s Dad. It is Angryman. Gro Dahle’s poignant and intelligent text combined with Svein Nyhus’s powerful art captures the full range emotions that descend upon a small family and their community-from a caring neighbor and her dog to the king of the village-as they grapple with ‘Angryman’-the name the young boy, Boj, gives to this side of his dad’s personality when he becomes angry and violent. The terror, guilt, remorse, and denial are palpable, but the most powerful part of the book is its insistence on zero tolerance for violent behavior and the book’s offering of a possible avenue for healing and redemption.
