Sometimes I feel sad.
Sometimes it’s because I’ve lost something.
Or because I’m hurt.
Other times I don’t know why I feel sad.
I just do.
Feeling sad is, unfortunately, a part of everyone’s life, and there’s not always an easy fix. This touching book helps explain to children aged 5-11 that they’re not alone in feeling this way, and is especially useful for children who struggle to express their feelings.

Interesting
This book is fictional. I think is it a charming, simple illustrated little book about children sharing their feelings and getting reassurance when they feel alone. Recommended.
I really liked it because the words were really easy for me. The grandad said cheer up.
The book was good to help you feel happy when you are sad. There wasn’t really any characters in the book, just a boy trying to find ways to make him happy but it keeps going wrong.
I liked it
Who doesn’t feel sad? But maybe feeling sad is not a bad thing.
A cute illustration throughout feelings and emotions
I liked the way it teaches me and other that’s it’s ok to feel sad.
It talks about our own emotions
It tells about how sadness feels and this is the perfect book for when you are feeling a little bit down.
It tells about how sadness feels and this is the perfect book for when you are feeling a little bit down.
At the end it says everyone is sad sometimes and that’s ok.
I am not alone. Sometimes we can feel sad but that’s ok…
The end was good, the book doesnt have a story.
I think this book helps me very much to understand my feeling
I think that the story sometimes I feel sad is a good book because it reminds me about times when I am sad and it tells people about how you can tell an adult or friend about how you feel and why you feel that way.Also it shows you that its okay to be sad sometimes and that people feel sad for different reasons.Like for example people feel sad because they have lost something that they love.
This book is about a figure that can sometimes feel sad and it can help you understand how you can sometimes feel sad. One important and essential thing in this book that really stood out to me was that I was not alone and sometimes other people feel sad as well. I recommend this book to anybody except infants.
It was boring, because it was about a stick man who was sad
The book makes me feel comfortable. It has good pictures. Not many people used the faces that I use to show emotions.
It was telling me how to be not sad it didn't really make me sad it made me a bit better thank you for this book
This book made me feel happy when I was blue. It cheered me up and it will with you, I recommend this book to anyone that feels sad, it really helped.
I read this book with mummy and we talked about what made me sad. We also talked about all the things that make me happy.
I could read it easily and it was good the boy felt happier
I recommend it to a friend.
I like this one because it teaches you that sometimes you can use it to make you feel better when you are sad because it tells you sometimes everyone gets sad and you’re not alone.
