The Day No One was Angry

Twelve stunningly illustrated, poetic, and funny stories about grumpy animals from an internationally acclaimed Dutch writer and a hugely popular French illustrator.



In twelve short chapters, we see different animals in many shades of anger, from melancholy to irritation to rage to confusion. Some try to understand their anger, some try to tame it, while others let their anger overwhelm them. These stories are funny and wry, but also offer a gently profound reflection of the nature of human emotions.



Marc Boutavant's delicate, stunning full-color illustrations put the reader in the heart of the forest, surrounded by endearingly grumpy animals.
