What is Sad about?

Everyone feels sad sometimes. This gentle book helps young children understand what sadness is, what might cause it and how it can show in faces and body language. Familiar situations and colourful, hand-painted illustrations make the ideas easy to recognise and relate to everyday life. Simple questions and quizzes encourage children to identify feelings in themselves and others. The book also offers supportive suggestions, such as talking to a trusted adult, helping children learn healthy ways to express and manage sadness.
