A sensitive and supportive story to help young children recognize and cope with sadness.
“Now when I get sad, I still cry sometimes. I still hide sometimes. But only for a little while. Because now I know ways to feel better.”Sadness can be an overwhelming emotion, especially for young children. But it’s important to know when sadness can be overcome, and when it’s indicative of a greater problem.
This timely resource is a wonderfully gentle way to take steps toward banishing the stigma around mental illness.
A special section at the back of the book provides support for adults, from an explanation of the difference between sadness and depression to helpful tools to manage the illness.
Especially useful for counselors, social workers, teachers, parents, and any other adults caring for children who struggle with sad feelings.

My thoughts on Sometimes When I’m Sad
This book has the potential to be a powerful tool to help children and adults deal with childhood sadness and depression.
The book is written in language appropriate for the intended audience.
Feelings are a difficult subject to talk about with younger children. Concepts such as sadness and anger elude many adults as well, making Serani’s book a starting point to open discussion about sadness.
The vivid illustrations done by Kyra Teis enhance the story and it’s message.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
