每個人都會難過繪本

My nine-year-old and I read a chapter together each night before bed. The way it walks through what sadness actually feels like, without rushing to "fix" it, opened up conversations I didn't expect us to have.

The "dark cloud" metaphor is exactly how my bad days feel, and this book breaks that down into simple steps I can actually use. I've already reread the happiness triggers section three times when work stress piles up.

The way this book talks about sadness as a "big, dark cloud" really clicked with my son—he finally felt understood. We read it together on a tough afternoon, and the simple, kind language helped him open up about his feelings. I'm honestly surprised how much a children's book can shift the mood.
