About this listen

Liam feels broken in ways no one asks about, carrying bruises no one can see. One rainy afternoon, he finds Shadow, an injured stray dog hiding in the alley. Together, boy and dog begin a journey of trust, healing, and friendship.

As Shadow learns to walk again, Liam learns to open his heart—to his grandmother, to his best friend Maya, and to himself. Behind anger lies hurt, and behind hurt, the possibility of healing—especially when you allow others in.

I’m Not Angry, I’m Just Hurt / ぼくは怒ってるんじゃなくてただ傷ついてるだけ is a bilingual English–Japanese children’s book that speaks to listeners of all ages. It explores themes of pain, compassion, and resilience with honesty and hope, making it perfect for bedtime listening, family discussions, and classroom conversations.

Perfect for:

  • Listen-aloud: Ages 6–9
  • Independent listening: Ages 9–12
  • Older listeners & adults: A gentle parable about empathy, trust, and healing.
