This poignant picture book explores the many faces of sadness and addresses the importance of mental health in a childfriendly way. A small boy creates a shelter for his sadness so that he can visit it whenever he needs to and the two of them can cry talk or just sit. The boy knows that one day his sadness may come out of the shelter and together they will look out at the world and see how beautiful it is. In this timely consideration of sadness and mental health Anne Booth offers a beautiful depiction of how children and everyone else must care for their emotions and give attention to their grief on a regular basis. Stunning illustrations by David Litchfield bring the beautiful concept to life with a manifestation of sadness that the protagonist interacts with throughout the story. show more
