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 Magazine * Despite the title, anger is not the only emotion delved into in this collection of tales. Themes of empathy, sorrow, suffering, selfishness, and the frivolity of social norms are addressed, often in the most eccentric way. Aesthetically, the book is beautiful, a hardcover, thick pages, and classic design. It has rich language and meaningful imagery. -- Katie Mineeff * Reading Time *
