Picturing My Sadness

A unique and gentle art-therapy-based book to help children come to terms with their sadness through creativity. This volume encourages children to become "sadness artists," using their amazing minds to get to know and show their sadness. Children are asked to think about the colors, textures, and shapes that express the look and feel of sadness to them. Children consider and recognize how they act when they're sad and how they can "speak" about sadness through art if finding words is hard, including learning the practice of mandalas.
