Michael Rosen's Sad Book

Reviews

The book was bigger than I had expected (I did not read the dimensions) but I like the size. I bought the book myself, but I would have thanked anyone who gave it to me, and I would have felt that they really get how I’m feeling. It’s a mistake to try to make someone grieving “feel better”, or to suggest they appreciate their grief by making something good out of it.

I chose Sad Book for our 'book of the month' (Jan 2016) and have sent 100+ copies to schools out of kindness via our #SadBookChallenge. Love this book. Quentin Blake's illustrations are as always, remarkable.

Bought new from Amz, and items arrived damaged. / I just want to disappear. It allows for the illustrations to feel more real.

The story itself is a nice contemplation on sadness’s s what it’s like to be sad. During my teaching career I have gifted many copies to children and families it's a must have for schools. I recently lost my husband, and Rosen speaks to early grief perfectly, particularly sudden and out of sequence death.
