A Shelter for Sadness by Anne Booth
A poignant and heartwarming picture book exploring the nature of sadness, beautifully captured by David Litchfield's stunning illustrations.The masterly A Shelter for Sadness (Templar) by Anne Booth also features a tricky set of feelings depicted in scribbly blob form by David Litchfield, but here we witness a boy building a den for these emotionsBooth was inspired by the words of Holocaust victim Etty Hillesum, who wrote: "Give your sorrow all the space and shelter in yourself that is its due..." and the result is a perfectly pitched, heartfelt meditation about living alongside grief.
