A child tries to interpret their tears with images from the world around them. They take materials from stormy seas and salty rivers, rushing waterfalls and dark caves, isolate themselves in lonely places, and snuggle into tender embraces. Is it the summer that ended, the balloon that burst, or the step on a sea urchin?
Could it be from the joy of a great victory or even from the unbearable peeling of onions? Everyone can cry, young and old, openly or secretly. Even nature with its creatures can. And if tears are human rain, then the rainbow cannot help but appear. Who wouldn’t want to play with it?
A book about the liberating power of crying that allows children to recognize and manage their emotions, understanding that it is perfectly fine to cry!
For children aged 4 and up
