Michael rosen's sad book, paperback/michael rosen

A heartbreakingly honest account from the illustrious pairing of two former Childrens Laureates.

It chronicles Michael Rosens grief at the death of his son Eddie from meningitis at the age of 19.

A moving combination of sincerity and simplicity, it acknowledges that sadness is not always avoidable or reasonable and perfects the art of making complicated feelings plain.

Quentin Blake says that the picture of Michael being sad but trying to look happy is the most difficult drawing hes ever done.

This is a picture book for all ages.
