Description

With unmitigated honesty, a touch of humor, and sensitive illustrations by Quentin Blake, Michael Rosen explores the experience of sadness in a way that resonates with us all.

Sometimes I’m sad and I don’t know why.
It’s just a cloud that comes along and covers me up.

Sad things happen to everyone, and now and again people feel sad for no reason at all. What makes Michael Rosen sad is considering his son, Eddie, who died at the age of eighteen. In this book the writer writes about his sadness, how it affects him, and one of the crucial things he does to deal with it—like telling himself that everyone has sad stuff (not just him) and trying on a daily basis to do something he can also be proud of. Expressively illustrated by the bizarre Quentin Blake, it is a very personal story that speaks to everyone, from children to parents to grandparents, teachers to grief counselors. Whether or not you have known what it’s like to feel deeply sad, the truth of this book will surely touch you.
