When Sophia sees her mommy crying, it makes her feel sad, too... But after a little chat and a big hug, Mommy explains how grown-ups have emotions just like children do – they can be scared and sad and happy, and that’s all perfectly fine. Feelings come and go, sometimes with a little bit of help, and that’s the same at any age and any stage. “This is a charming book with a simple yet impactful message… mental health is important, and it is natural and normal to feel a range of emotions, even unpleasant ones. A good reminder for readers young and old.” – Dr. Jillian Roberts, child psychologist and author “Such a delightful and affirming story to help guide and teach our children to navigate our emotional experiences. This book transforms complex ideas and themes into simple, kid- friendly concepts. I highly recommend it, especially during these trying times.” – Rebecca J. Yum, P.h.D. licensed clinical psychologist “This book is a great help to explain adult emotions to children.” – Hilaria Baldwin, author and podcaster Danielle Sherman-Lazar is a mental health advocate and mother to three daughters.
