What is Feeling Sad about?

Everyone feels sad sometimes, but understanding sadness can help us cope with it. Join Dr Gloom as he explores what can make people feel sad, how sadness may show itself and the healthy ways we can respond. Through lively comic-style pages, colourful photographs and illustrations, young readers learn to recognise their emotions and talk about them. This gentle guide encourages children to understand that sad feelings are natural and that support, kindness and helpful strategies can make difficult moments easier.
