Book Synopsis
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.

Whether or not you have known what it's like to feel deeply sad, the truth of t
