In my 35 years as a psychotherapist, I have consistently noticed that many people are uncomfortable in the presence of the strong, difficult emotions of others. Sadness is one of these emotions. When we do not know how to cope with the emotional state of another person, we too often try to make it “go away” by being dismissive. This is especially problematic for children, who need to learn how to identify, express and process the full range of their emotions. This is a beautifully written and illustrated book that helps children discover how to make space for sadness without becoming engulfed by it.
