About this eBook
"The Sorrow Sea: A Book About Sadness for Kids" is for children who need to know they are not alone. Other people care and can help them. A powerful ice-breaker for opening discussions about feelings of grief, guilt, misery and sadness, this book can be read to young children and used to teach big words like ‘emotion’ and ‘mindset’. It can be read by older children and used by therapists to build a child’s awareness of their own emotions.
This book is not about depression nor should it replace the one-on-one coaching of doctors, psychologists and other professionals; in fact, it encourages readers to seek help when needed.
About the author

It has been followed up by 'The Sorrow Sea' in 2018, for children who are struggling with big feelings of sadness, grief, misery and guilt.
