When I Feel Sad

Illustrated by Paula Bowles

A validating book about feeling sad.

Developed in conjunction with a child psychologist, these board books focus on the six main emotions experienced by very young children. Featuring non-gendered characters and avoiding stereotypical associations of color and emotion, each book introduces the child to the feelings raised by one emotion. Coping strategies are discussed where necessary. Written with both neurodivergent and neurotypical readers in mind.
