MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Yesterday I reviewed the wonderful book Sometimes When I’m Mad by Deborah Serani. Today I am reviewing another book by Deborah Serani, Sometimes When I’m Sad. Sadness is something we all face, and Serani does another awesome job of writing this book to help children cope with the feelings of sadness. A few of the things this book suggest when you are sad is throwing a ball instead of throwing toys, or talk to someone such as a family member, friend or counselor.
This is a really great book for when your child is sad. The story is simple yet with so many valuable lessons within the pages. And the illustrations by Kyra Teis help bring the story to life with the perfect illustrations on each page to match the story. I love that the colors inside and on the cover match the moods of the storyline. Sometimes When I’m Sad. Is perfect for elementary and daycare classrooms. And even though this book is written for children, I think adults can benefit from the valuable lessons here in this book.
In the back of this book there is so much information that tells you how to deal with children who are sad. I think this book it very well worth purchasing. I highly recommend this book to anyone with children. This one is Five Stars for me.
A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
