520 _aBig feelings are part of daily life for small kids, and happiness just isn’t always within reach. Unwelcome events, from a broken toy to a missing pet, bring on sad feelings that can darken kids’ days. In this book, children can follow along as Ben helps cheer up his friends and shows how kids can turn sadness into smiles. I’m Not Happy uses simple, easy-to-read text to present positive coping skills for children to use when they feel sad. The book’s gentle humor and colourful illustrations will appeal to young children, and happiness might not seem so far away after all by the end of the story. The book also includes a series of blank pictures presenting a boy who loses his balloon, inviting children to use their own words to tell a story about helping others who feel unhappy. An additional section offers adults "before" and "after" reading questions to get a child/children talking about feelings and suggests positive coping skills for children dealing with sadness. This book aims to encourage children to develop awareness of their own needs, views and feelings, and to be sensitive to the needs, views and feelings of others. Colour picturebook with short text. Audience: Child 4 - 8 years; Adult caregiver; Professional
