This Is Not A Sad Book is truly not a sad book! It's actually a practical, compassionate guide full of strategies and ideas to support yourself or someone else through grief, loss and hard times. In some parts you might even find yourself smiling. Most importantly of all - the stories, tips and advice in these pages are a reminder that even in our darkest hours, there is a way through. A Children's Book Council of Australia Honour Book 'When the world seems dark, sometimes a book is the most gentle and compassionate of companions. This is a beautiful roadmap through difficult terrain.' - Megan Daley, author & award-winning educator
