📖 When Sadness is at Your Door

Everyone feels sadness sometimes. Most of the time there is a reason to be sad, but sometimes sadness comes out of the blue. Whether sadness comes on suddenly or with a good reason, sadness can be seen as an unwelcome guest, making people uncomfortable. Sadness can make you feel like you cannot breathe, follow you around, or make you feel as if you are sadness itself. However, with patience, one can deal with sadness. You can listen to music, draw, or even just sit with sadness in silence. The author, Eva Eland, writes many ways you can deal with sadness, or what it might need. I recommend this book because it helps people with emotional and mental health. The author explains sadness in a beautiful way, and gives examples of how you can deal with it. Sadness is an emotion that everyone will experience in their lifetime, and knowing how to take care of it is important.

每个人有时都会感到悲伤。大多数时候,悲伤都有原因,但有时它会毫无预兆地出现。无论悲伤是突然来临,还是事出有因,它都像一位不受欢迎的客人,让人感到不舒服。悲伤可能让你觉得无法呼吸,仿佛一直跟着你,甚至让你觉得自己本身就是悲伤。然而,只要有耐心,人们是可以应对悲伤的。你可以听音乐、画画,或者只是安静地与悲伤相处。作者伊娃·伊兰德写下了许多应对悲伤的方法,以及悲伤可能需要什么。我推荐这本书,因为它有助于人们的情绪和心理健康。作者用一种美丽而温柔的方式解释了悲伤,并举例说明我们可以如何面对它。悲伤是一种每个人一生中都会经历的情绪,学会如何照顾它非常重要。

Sadness can be scary and confusing at any age! When we feel sad, especially for long periods of time, it can seem as if the sadness is a part of who we are--an overwhelming, invisible, and scary sensation. In When Sadness Is at Your Door, Eva Eland brilliantly approaches this feeling as if it is a visitor. She gives it a shape and a face, and encourages the reader to give it a name, all of which helps to demystify it and distinguish it from ourselves. She suggests activities to do with it, like sitting quietly, drawing, and going outside for a walk. The beauty of this approach is in the respect the book has for the feeling, and the absence of a narrative that encourages the reader to "get over" it or indicates that it's "bad," both of which are anxiety-producing notions. Simple illustrations that recall the classic style of Crockett Johnson (Harold and the Purple Crayon) invite readers to add their own impressions. Eva Eland's debut picture book is a great primer in mindfulness and emotional literacy, perfect for kids navigating these new feelings- -and for adult readers tackling the feelings themselves!
