When Sophie Gets Angry -- Really, Really Bang, Molly
FIC .056 BAN
Angry . . .
Raw zigzags of color convey a girl's rage in this compassionate volume, which proposes a cure for anger.
Sophie's temper flares when her sister demands a turn playing with a favorite stuffed gorilla. Matters worsen
when Sophie's mother passes judgment ("It is her turn now, Sophie") and Sophie trips over a toy truck in the
resulting tug-of-war. Infernal shades of orange, yellow and red liken Sophie to a shuddering volcano; a gray cat
with jagged fur wisely gets out of her way. With the "PABAM!" of a slammed door, the girl races outside. "She
runs and runs and runs until she can't run anymore. Then, for a little while, she cries." Gradually, a calmer Sophie
begins noticing birds and ferns. When she returns home, relaxed again, her sister has abandoned the gorilla in
favor of a tabletop puzzle. With minimal text, Bang (Common Ground; Ten, Nine Eight) gives a realistic account
of embattled siblings and prescribes self-imposed solitude. Edgy illustrations with roilingly patterned foreground
shapes and looming, dark backgrounds convey Sophie's inner violence; in particular, a quiet image of a ghostly
gray beech against a midnight-blue sky is reminiscent of Van Gogh's Japanese-print-inspired scenes.
