Synopsis

A Heartfelt Story About Loss, Healing, and Hope: Sadness Is My Monster

When Anayah’s grandma dies, her heart feels heavy in a way she’s never known before. The colors of her world fade, and a quiet blue monster named Sadness begins to follow her everywhere. He sits beside her at breakfast, tags along on the playground, and curls up next to her at night. At first, Anayah tries to make him go away. But when she learns to talk about Grandma, to laugh at their memories, and to share her feelings with those she loves, something changes—Sadness becomes softer, smaller, and easier to live with.

Sadness Is My Monster helps children understand that grief doesn’t mean forgetting. It’s about remembering with love. This gentle, beautifully illustrated picture book helps parents, teachers, and counselors open conversations about loss, empathy, and emotional healing.

This Social Emotional Learning Book Helps Kids:
• Understand grief and loss in a gentle, age-appropriate way
• Name and share feelings instead of keeping them bottled up
• See sadness as a natural part of love
• Find comfort and strength in remembering
• Build empathy and compassion for themselves and others

Perfect for Families, Classrooms, and Counseling Sessions

Whether your child has lost a loved one, a pet, or is simply learning to navigate big emotions, this story creates a safe and hopeful space to talk about feelings. Designed for children ages 3–8, it supports social-emotional learning (SEL) and helps little ones see that it’s okay to feel sad—and that sadness never stays forever.

“When my mother died, my daughter really struggled to process it. This book gave her feelings a name and helped her move on.” — Heather L.

“I have the rest of the My Inner Monster series and my boys love them. This is an amazing addition to the collection.” — Rob G.

A Beautiful Gift for Any Child Experiencing Loss

This tender story reminds children that sadness doesn’t take love away—it helps them keep it close. Because even sadness can teach us how to love more deeply.
