This is an important picture book for kids about the importance of compassion and reaching out to others. Each of us can help another person cope with sadness. All we have to do is to want and reach out to them.
Most kids get sad from time to time. It is important for us not to avoid people who are sad but to try to cheer them up. It may be difficult to be around sad people. But with love in our hearts, it is possible to help them and to cheer them up.
