It’s OK to Be Sad
This illustrated poem is a reminder that feeling sad is not a crisis. In fact, it’s a universal experience that’s part of being alive, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.
In a world of quick fixes and easy answers, this book is an invitation to just be and, when possible, to wallow luxuriously.
Sometimes, the best thing to do for someone who’s feeling this way is to be present with them—to accompany them— while the sadness takes its course. That’s what this book hopes to do for readers of all ages.
