My Thoughts
Dr. Deborah Serani has a gift. After reading Sometimes When I’m Mad, I was enchanted with her writing style and Sometimes When I’m Sad is a POWERFUL addition to my collection, and I feel like I really learned something from the book. Dr. Deborah Serani writing style is quite easy for kids to understand and I genuinely think that kids can learn how to express their feelings better by reading this book.
As adults Dr. Deborah Serani also provides informative ways, we can help everyone around us no matter age in dealing with sadness and she lists ways we can recognize sadness even if it may not be readily apparent. Something I appreciate and quite honestly think it would be a promising idea to buy this for any new parents as a knowledge resource for how to deal with their children’s emotions in a healthy way.
The Illustrations were fantastic. Very soothing and easy on the eyes. The words were easy to read and got their point across easily.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.
Thank you SO much for you kind words about my writing. I am so very happy that you found both my “Sometimes When” books such meaningful reads. I also appreciate you taking the time to read my work and leave such a thoughtful review as part of my book tour.
Thanks again!
