A Shelter For Sadness
£6.99
Regular price £5.95Why we love it
A small boy creates a shelter for his sadness, a safe space where Sadness is welcome, where it can curl up small, or be as big as it can be, where it can be noisy or quiet, or anything in between. The boy can visit the shelter whenever he needs to, every day, sometimes every hour, and the two of them will cry and talk or just sit, saying nothing.
And the boy knows that one day Sadness may come out of the shelter, and together they will look out at the world, and see how beautiful it is.
A poignant and heart-warming picture book exploring the importance of making space and time for our own griefs, small or large, sensitively visualised with David Litchfield's stunning illustration.

Hello!
At All The Kids, we're all about creating a world of wonder and imagination for children to explore and grow in. Our inspiration comes from our very own little ones, Isla and Milo, who are our chief toy testers and the driving force behind everything we do. We understand the importance of finding toys that not only provide endless hours of fun, but also promote sustainability and protect the planet for future generations. That's why we take great care in curating a selection of products we know will be loved by parents and children alike.
