Reviews
"""More Than Sad gives young readers the opportunity to SEE how feelings show up in their body. The illustrations matched with the concrete language demonstrate the vast number of feelings that can exist one at a time or all at the same time. I will definitely be recommending this book and using it in my work as a child life specialist."" - Katie Taylor, CCLS, CEO, Child Life On Call"
