Testimonials

»Let me be sad« is a story about the big and sometimes overwhelming feeling of sadness.  It is a story written with the intention of helping children to acknowledge, organize and put words to their sadness in an effort to help them cope when they find themselves feeling this emotion.

The story follows its main character through their expression of sadness and culminates in a hopeful message that, in time, and with the space to feel, things will be easier one day.  Although »Let me be sad« is a children’s book, the message, combined with its powerful illustrations, is sure to resonate with the hearts and minds of adults.

»Let me be sad« was first published in November 2019 both in English and German. The title of the German version is »Lass mich einfach traurig sein«.
