Please fill in the information below to receive an ARC of A SHELTER FOR SADNESS, written by Anne Booth and illustrated by David Litchfield. Physical ARCs available while supplies last.

A small boy creates a shelter for his sadness where he can visit it whenever he needs to, and the two of them can cry, talk, or just sit. The boy knows that one day his sadness may come out of the shelter, and together they will look out at the world and see how beautiful it is.

In this timely consideration of sadness and mental health, Anne Booth offers a beautiful depiction of how children (and everyone) must care for their emotions and give attention to their grief on a regular basis. Stunning illustrations by David Litchfield bring the beautiful concept to life with a manifestation of sadness that the young boy protagonist interacts with throughout the story.

A SHELTER FOR SADNESS goes on sale September 1 from Peachtree.
