Review: God, I Feel Sad by:M Nietert

 

About the Book:

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel their sadness and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way.

Sad is a feeling that can be hard, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In God, I Feel Sad, kids discover that it’s okay to be sad and that God is in all things, including sadness. With simple, accessible text, sad becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way.

My Review:

 Grief is something that we all will experience at one time or another. Its hard to navigate as an adult much less a child. Its even harder to get a child to understand something we ourselves dont quite understand. The book gives very calming and tranquil type solutions. Things that are not so overwhelming and solutions that actually walk them through this difficult time. 

 I love the easy way this book helps to communicate grief and what God thinks about it. And I loved the illustrations.

**Disclosure**This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the publisher.
