<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A picture book about sadness uniquely told from the friend's point of view as she does her best to comfort her friend Jenny Mei"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>With this educational and entertaining picture book, learn how to approach difficult emotions with compassion and understanding--and be the best friend you can be.</b></p><i>My friend Jenny Mei is sad. But you might not be able to tell.</i> <p/>Jenny Mei still smiles a lot. She makes everyone laugh. And she still likes blue Popsicles the best. But, her friend knows that Jenny Mei is sad, and does her best to be there to support her. <p/>This beautifully illustrated book is perfect for introducing kids to the complexity of sadness, and to show them that the best way to be a good friend, especially to someone sad, is by being there for the fun, the not-fun, and everything in between. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>"A sensitive, gracefully wrought portrait of compassion.</b>"--<i><b>Publishers Weekly</b></i><br><br><b>"Intelligently and sympathetically </b>demonstrates that children have complex emotional lives too<b>."</b>--<i><b>Kirkus</b></i><br><br>"A child's consciousness of impending loss hums beneath the surface of Tracy Subisak's gentle picture book "Jenny Mei Is Sad."...In the <b>colorful illustrations</b>, we see Jenny Mei in school, smiling and playing the clown and then suddenly, inexplicably, tearing up a classmate's drawing. Those who are sad, Ms. Subisak shows with kindness, don't always behave as we imagine they should. Sad people may lash out in their misery and, indeed, feel swept away by loneliness and sorrow.--<i><b>The Wall Street Journal</b></i><br><br>"Subisak's illustrations, rendered in India ink, Japanese watercolor, pastel, and colored pencil, are <b>bold in color yet delicate in detail.</b> The text is <b>simple yet thoughtful</b>, painting our narrator as the empathetic friend she is."--<i><b>Horn Book</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>There was a time when <b>Tracy Subisak</b> was very, very sad.
