My award-winning book "Sometimes When I'm Sad" is a gentle and supportive story about pediatric sadness. In the United States alone, evidence suggests that up to 1% of babies, 4% of preschool-aged children, 5% of school-aged children, and 11% of adolescents meet the criteria for major depression. Reading about sadness in little ones can help children and adults recognize the symptoms early and reduce the onset of a depressive disorder.
