Description
Book SynopsisA moving picture book debut about depression, sensory awareness, and the power of listening, from psychologist and author of Teaching Kids to be Kind.Coen is having a sniffling, sighing, sobbing kind of day.
His family thinks they know how to cheer him up. His dad wants to go outside and play, Mom tells her funniest joke, and his little sister shares her favorite teddy. Nothing helps. But one by one, they get quiet and begin to listen. After some time, space, and reassurance, Coen is able to show
them what he needs.
With poignant text and stunning illustrations,
A Blue Kind of Day explores how depression might feel in the body and shows us how to support the people we love with patience, care, and empathy.
