Items related to Michael Rosen's Sad Book
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 sometimes people feel sad for no reason at all. What makes Michael Rosen sad is thinking about his son, Eddie, who died suddenly at the age of eighteen. In this book the author writes about his sadness, how it affects him, and some of the things he does to cope with it -- like telling himself that everyone has sad stuff (not just him) and trying every day to do something he can be proud of. Expressively illustrated by the extraordinary Quentin Blake, this 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.

Review:
This story is practical and universal and will be of comfort to those who are working through their bereavement. A brilliant and distinguished collaboration.
--School Library Journal (starred review) Rosen's poetic revelation of his conflicting emotions and coping strategies will resonate with -- and help -- anyone mourning a loss or dealing with an indefinable sadness.
--Publishers Weekly (starred review) Rosen offers no easy solutions here -- but he and Blake close with the image of a candle shedding a small, hopeful light. Readers . . . will be touched by the honesty and perception here.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A beautiful, solacing book.
--The Horn Book (starred review) While you may not want to give this to a chid who is at the moment, happy, you would most certainly give this to a child who is sad. It shows them that they are not alone, and does so brilliantly.
