Synopsis: A uniquely humorous approach to sadness, this picture book helps kids understand this big, heavy feeling while encouraging mindfulness and exploring what it means to be a good friend.Rabbit is SO excited to go fishing with Bear. But Bear's not feeling up to it. . . . He&’s feeling low, like his pocket is full of sads that are weighing him down. Although Bear doesn&’t know why he&’s feeling this way, Rabbit is sure she can fix it!Rabbit looks to the internet for advice, but none of the self-help tips seem to help. The friends try meditating, healthy eating, even a new hobby, only to learn that when it comes to having the sads, there&’s no easy fix—except, maybe, friendship. This tender picture book is the perfect primer to help children understand the heavy-hearted sadness that can come out of nowhere. And more importantly, it helps kids and adults be better listeners and more supportive companions to friends dealing with tough feelings. A must have for homes and classrooms alike!
