My Review

 Sometimes When I'm Sad is the companion book to Sometimes When I'm Mad. This children's book tackles the feelings of sadness. The book reassures children that it's okay to be upset. To cry. To be emotional and sad about things. It also offers ways to help "chase the blues away", if you will. As parents, seeing your child sad/upset about something is hard. But finding ways to help them and guide them not only benefits them, but it also helps ease the burden we place on ourselves by wanting to take "the hurt" away. 
Easy to read. Lovely illustrations. And a beneficial list of resources in the back of the book. A must-have book for any parent.

5 stars!
