Descripción: A moving picture book debut about depression, sensory awareness, and the power of listening, from psychologist and author of Teaching Kids to be Kind.Coen is having a sniffling, sighing, sobbing kind of day.His family thinks they know how to cheer him up. His dad wants to go outside and play, Mom tells her funniest joke, and his little sister shares her favorite teddy. Nothing helps. But one by one, they get quiet and begin to listen. After some time, space, and reassurance, Coen is able to show them what he needs.With poignant text and stunning illustrations, A Blue Kind of Day explores how depression might feel in the body and shows us how to support the people we love with patience, care, and empathy.From School Library JournalK-Gr 4-This gentle exploration of depression in children feels like Cori Doerrfeld's The Rabbit Listened meets Judith Viorst's Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Coen is a young dark-skinned boy with a mop of curls who wakes up with blue feelings radiating off of him. Sheathed in a blanket for protection, we see the physical manifestation of his feelings not only through Coen but also through his teddy bear. His mother, father, and sister try to cheer him up, but Coen needs time to emerge from his cocoon. The digital illustrations are appropriate shades of blue for much of the book. From Australia, Mordey, who has a shared Torres Strait Islander and English heritage, has modeled the characters after her own family. This book would pair well with SEL lessons on self-awareness as a read-aloud. School counselors may also find that the text opens discussions with students who lack the language to name their emotions. An author's note provides ways to identify symptoms of depression and ideas for supporting children exhibiting them. VERDICT Sparse yet effective text may serve all ages well in helping them give voice to unexpressed feelings. A recommended purchase for public, elementary, and middle school libraries.-Monisha Blairα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
