About 

How do you deal with Sadness? An outstanding debut from Eva Eland, the first in a series of picture books that tackle big emotions.

When Sadness arrives, try not to be afraid: give it a name, listen to it and spend some time together. Maybe all it wants is to know that it’s welcome. This beautiful debut by new author-illustrator talent Eva Eland takes a poignant but uplifting look at dealing with uncomfortable emotions.

  • This is the first in a series of Big Emotion picture books from Eva Eland. The next book, Where Happiness Begins, tackles the pressure to find happiness and is scheduled to be published in 2020.
