Reviews
"Lots of white space on each page keeps the mood soothing and thoughtful as the girl tries to figure out what to do. . . There's lots of useful advice for sad days: going for a walk through the trees, or just sitting quietly together. Best of all, there's the calm reminder that tomorrow, 'when you wake up it might be gone.'" --New York Times

"Children will feel better, too, knowing they have a helpful, honest, and empathetic picture book ready for the next time Sadness shows up for a visit."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Sadness, Eland expresses, need not always feel like an intrusive guest--rather, it's one whose arrival warrants attention, reflection, and care."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"By focusing on the feeling, rather than the circumstance, the book speaks to readers of all ages and backgrounds." --School Library Journal

"...invites readers to look at sadness with new perspective and offers potential coping strategies. while offering an affirming way to understand, discuss, and view sadness that children--and their adults--may find helpful." --Booklist
