I'm Sad Today
Description

What does being sad mean? What is sadness? How can you be deliberately sad? Our protagonist will begin a quest to find everything she needs in order to be sad. So sad.

Today I am sad. I am so sad that I'm going to draw a picture of my eternal sadness, but I end up drawing a huge giant having a good laugh. I am so sad I could form an entire new ocean with my tears, a vast sea that I would sail on with a boat. I could even become a pirate in my sea of tears -- It would be so much fun! However, this is not enough. I am way more sad. I have to come across something that proves that I am very, extremely, deeply sad. Let the adventure begin!

A book about the wonders of imagination, self-discovery, and playing. The perfect family-read to stimulate self-awareness and boost the children's imagination.
