(3) K-3 Translated by Tara Chace. Illustrated by Svein Nyhus. Sometimes Boj's daddy turns into "Angryman." Boj and Mama must survive the dangerous outbursts until, finally, Boj tells "the king" that "Daddy hits" and he gets help. This Norwegian import is an emotionally powerful child's perspective on domestic violence. The sharp angles, dark colors, heavy lines, and distorted perspectives effectively convey the child's experience.
