Michael Rosen's Sad Book
By Michael Rosen
Illustrated by Quentin Blake
A heartbreakingly honest account of a father's grief for his son from the illustrious pairing of a current and a former Children's Laureate.
What makes Michael Rosen most sad is thinking about his son, Eddie, who died. In this book he writes about his sadness, how it affects him and some of the things he does to try and cope with it. The truth of this book will surely touch you.
- Winner of the Smarties Book Prize: 6-8 Category Bronze Award and shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal, this book is suitable for any person coping with grief.
- "Beautifully judged, a book of honest grace," The Observer.
