What a great book to teach kids about how to recognize their feelings and how to deal with feeling sad. I thought the pictures were simple enough not to overwhelm the message while still complimenting it.

This book was a good way of explaining sad to my 4 year old and also bringing God into the conversation. It held his attention the whole way through. I really liked the illustrations. I felt like though he understood most of it that he was a little young for this book and that it would be a great book for older kids too.

I love how this gives language to kids and normalizes big feelings. I like that it honors the feelings and doesn’t shame or overly spiritualize. My kids loved this book. I also really appreciated the diversity in the illustrations.
