You might enjoy this heartwarming children's book if you're looking for a gentle story that addresses emotions and mental well-being in a relatable way. It's ideal for young readers who want to learn about identifying and understanding their feelings, often through a narrative filled with empathy and compassion.

When Bear feels low, like his pocket is full of sads that are weighing him down, Rabbit becomes determined to find the cure but discovers there's no easy fix--except, maybe, friendship, in this uniquely humorous approach to sadness that encourages mindfulness.

Description

A uniquely humorous approach to sadness, this picture book helps kids understand this big, heavy feeling while encouraging mindfulness and exploring what it means to be a good friend.

Rabbit is so excited to go fishing with Bear. But Bear's not feeling up to it... He's feeling low, like his pocket is full of sads that are weighing him down. Although Bear doesn't know why he's feeling this way, Rabbit is sure she can fix it!

Rabbit looks to the internet for advice, but none of the self-help tips seem to help. The friends try meditating, healthy eating, even a new hobby, only to learn that when it comes to having the sads, there's no easy fix—except, maybe, friendship.

This tender picture book is the perfect primer to help children understand the heavy-hearted sadness that can come out of nowhere. More importantly, it helps kids and adults be better listeners and more supportive companions to friends dealing with tough feelings. A must-have for homes and classrooms alike!
