No One Is Angry Today cover

"Toon Tellegen's writing is wise, understanding, forgiving and very very gentle—he is one of the world's great writers for children."  Julia Marshall, Publisher

A wry and thought-provoking illustrated storybook in which the forest animals encounter their emotions, discovering that anger can appease, connect, resolve and even lead to tears of laughter.A thought-provoking illustrated storybook in which the forest animals discover that anger doesn't always have to be angry 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 collection of stories gently shows that anger, in all its shapes and sizes, is a natural, necessary and often misunderstood emotion.

"The art is fabulous. Boutavant is the genius behind the early graphic novel series Ariol, and his animals all have such wonderful expressiveness."

-- Youth Book Services

"A challenging exercise in decoding strong human emotions - but worth the effort."

-- Kirkus Rev
