(3) K-3 On clean creamy pages, a child faces Sadness, pictured as a blue-green, somewhat shapeless character looming large and too close. The narrator offers the reader practical advice on how to handle this unwelcome visitor, including listening to Sadness and naming it. The simple three-color illustrations, with their curved lines and hand-lettered text, are as calming and hopeful as the words.
