Everyone feels sad sometimes, even this book! But how do we deal with our feelings of sadness and discover new positives? With the book itself taking the form of the main character, The Sad Book navigates this topic in an interactive way with both gentle humour and sensitivity. The pairing of Howard Pearlstein's text with the creative and dynamic illustrations of James Munro informs and inspires.
