Sadness has come to live with me and I am building it a shelter. I
am building a shelter for my sadness and welcoming it inside. 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 visualized with David
Litchfield's stunning illustration. Anne Booth was inspired to
write this book by the words of Etty Hillesum, a Holocaust victim
who wrote: 'Give your sorrow all the space and shelter in yourself
that is its due, for if everyone bears grief honestly and
courageously, the sorrow that now fills the world will abate. But
if you do instead reserve most of the space inside you for hatred
and thoughts of revenge-from which new sorrows will be born for
others-then sorrow will never cease in this world. And if you have
given sorrow the space it demands, then you may truly say: life is
beautiful and so rich.' (Esther 'Etty' Hillesum (15 Jan 1914 - 30
Nov 1943)
