Why Read this Book
- Sometimes you want to have conversations with children about sadness or feeling blue. At those times it can really help to have a book to read that touches on those topics. This book is a perfect choice. It’s also very beautiful and a good book to read-aloud at any time.
- The author and illustrator skillfully touch on the sadder feelings in life – and then they use words and illustrations to bring you and your children back to good things in life.
- This book is also useful for times when your kids hear news from the world around them that just doesn’t sound good. Bad news is difficult for little ears to hear. In this book they’ll be reminded of many of the good things in life – a good balance to negative news.
