Amazon Description

Who is sad? Sad is anyone. It comes along and finds you.

We all have sad stuff. What makes Michael Rosen 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 to cope with it.

One Potato Review

A big fat advisory here. This is a story about the death of a child, and it’s unflinching. This reader as never seen anything like it for children, but there are possibly people - young and old - who are weary from reading about silver linings when it comes to the death of a loved one. Here is a book that offers at least the promise of a shared - if unimaginable - experience.
