The Storm by Akiko Miyakoshi
Beautifully illustrated picture book that captures the frustration, pain, and powerlessness of being a kid. It's definitely a quiet book about being a bit mad.
Also I like that the kid is ambiguously gendered even though I don't think that was intentional. The jacket copy uses "he" but there's nothing gendered in the text, which I think makes it more relatable to a much wider audience.
