*SIGNED BOOKPLATES*

Annie comes home from school to find her cat, Delilah, has had a terrible day and is quite sad. What do you do when your friend is sad? Cheer them up with all the things they love! Annie tries TV, warm milk, and even yoga! But at the end of the day, no distraction can really make our bad days simply disappear, as Annie knows all too well. You just have to face them head on, maybe have a good cry, and find comfort in those you love.

Heather Smith has written a gentle picture book about how we sometimes have to sit in the sadness of a bad day before we can move beyond it. Paired with Karen Obuhanych’s bold, emotive illustrations, readers will feel seen with this relatable story.

Adam G. ★★★★★

The signed bookplate was a lovely touch, and the story’s gentle message about cheering up a sad friend really resonated with my kindergartner. We’ve already read it twice tonight, and she keeps pointing at Delilah’s droopy face with such sympathy.

Ella U. ★★★★★

My five-year-old asked me to read this one three times in a row, which says everything. The signed bookplate is a sweet touch, and the way Annie lists Delilah’s favorite things actually sparked a conversation with my kid about comforting a grumpy friend.

Emily L. ★★★★★

The story handles a tough emotion with real warmth—my kid asked to read it three times in a row, and the signed bookplate inside was a lovely surprise. It's the kind of book that makes saying "I'm sad" feel okay.
