When Sadness is at Your Door by : Eva Eland
This book is about when you come across sadness and have to deal with the emotions that go along with them. This book is such a great book for young and older readers. It is for all ages and grade levels in my opinion. I think it helps normalize that it is ok to be sad and it is a very normal human thing to go through and experience. Emotions are important and it is ok to express them when needed.
