Description
Sadness has come to live with me and I am building it a shelter. I am building a shelter for my sadness, a safe space where Sadness is welcome, where it can curl up small, or be as big as it can be, where it can be noisy or quiet, or anything in between. The boy who is building the shelter visits it every day, sometimes every hour, and the two of them will cry and talk or just sit, saying nothing. This poignant picture book explores the importance of making space and time for our own griefs, small or large. With stunning illustrations, it sensitively visualizes the need for a safe space to acknowledge and process our emotions. A heart-warming story that encourages us to be honest and courageous with our feelings, and to find beauty in the world around us.
