{"product_id":"eland-eva-when-sadness-is-at-your-door-9780525707189","title":"When Sadness Is at Your Door","description":"A comforting primer in emotional literacy and mindfulness that suggests we approach the feeling of sadness as if it is our guest. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSadness can be scary and confusing at any age! When we feel sad, especially for long periods of time, it can seem as if the sadness is a part of who we are--an overwhelming, invisible, and scary sensation. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn When Sadness Is at Your Door, Eva Eland brilliantly approaches this feeling as if it is a visitor. She gives it a shape and a face, and encourages the reader to give it a name, all of which helps to demystify it and distinguish it from ourselves. She suggests activities to do with it, like sitting quietly, drawing, and going outside for a walk. The beauty of this approach is in the respect the book has for the feeling, and the absence of a narrative that encourages the reader to \"get over\" it or indicates that it's \"bad,\" both of which are anxiety-producing notions. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSimple illustrations that recall the classic style of Crockett Johnson (Harold and the Purple Crayon) invite readers to add their own impressions. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEva Eland's debut picture book is a great primer in mindfulness and emotional literacy, perfect for kids navigating these new feelings--and for adult readers tackling the feelings themselves!","brand":"Random House Children's Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53914894664022,"sku":"9780525707189-V","price":14.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/eland-eva-when-sadness-is-at-your-door-9780525707189","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
