About This Book

A parent should reach for this book when their child is navigating a difficult period of sadness, grief, or anxiety and is having trouble talking about it. Rather than telling a story, this unique book speaks directly to the child, acting as the voice of a gentle, reassuring friend. It offers simple words of comfort and validation for big feelings, like loneliness after a move or sadness from a loss. Its short chapters make it easy to digest for children ages 6 to 8. This is a wonderful tool for parents who want to provide comfort and open a gentle conversation about emotional well-being, normalizing the child's experience and reminding them they are not alone in their feelings.

What Parents Should Know

Sad ThemesMild

The resolution in every chapter is consistently hopeful, emphasizing that bad feelings will pass and that support is always available. It's designed to be broadly applicable to many different challenging situations.
