"Sad Sally is a marvelous children's book with illustrations that lift the story off the page in a refreshing and engaging way. Absolutely first rate! I cannot wait to read this book to my grandchildren! One of the best children's books I've seen in a long, long time."
Norm Foster, Canada's top playwright Sad Sally is a bright, colorful, beautifully illustrated book full of rhymes and meaningful messages. Join Sad Sally as she navigates through an emotional day while receiving advice from a very wise frog. Feelings teach us about ourselves, and the world around us, if we take the time to listen. Feelings themselves are neither good nor bad. They just are. It's what we do with them that give them their positive or negative value. Sad Sally helps parents and kids alike deal with and express their feelings in constructive, healthy ways. "A child having repressed pent up feelings of sadness can lead to severe depression and an inability to experience love and life's intimacy. Colleen Aynn's 'Sad Sally' is a beautiful highly relatable tool for any children or any person working with children. A must arrow in your therapeutic quiver!"
