Words from the author:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"As an expert in the development of creative-thinking, I believe in flexible-thinking; to see crying as a language, to respect each other’s feelings instead of being angry, and to invent solutions together. One of the tools of creativity is to do the opposite of what is expected, like… crying together. Believe me, if you do it with humor it’ll work!

The book has been designed to stimulate regular thinking from all angles (for ages 4 -120)! On the one hand, it teaches readers to listen to crying as a 'secret language' belonging to children who are trying to 'say' deeper things. On the other hand, the story will help to lessen the child's desire to cry over every little thing. On the 'new' hand, it will teach the whole family a new language; the language of Self-Esteem & Self-Respect; the language of good communication and laughter!"

Crying diva

This is a cute little story. The little girl crud so much, but my nephew loves it when I am animated when I read. This allows the reader to be very animated and fun. I do wish that the author added other reasons for tears. The end is good, but happier reasons to cry could have been added.

Avoid this book

This book seems to want to encourage kids to cry instead of using their words. Avoid it. I found it more harmful to my 3 year old than helpful.

The main character is always crying! Meet Ruthy who has a hard time remembering happy times and expresses what she wants through her tears. She's always in charge and often seems to get her own way. Everyone who hears the crying aloud and at high volume wants her to stop! The little girl is taken back by her family's reaction and begins to explain her actions. Ruthy shows her parents that her tears are a form of communication, called 'the secret language of tears.' Everyone tries to understand Ruthy's feelings and copies Ruthy's behavior. Soon all are expressing 'happy tears.' The author shares ideas on helping the children to stop crying and how to experience different types of crying tones and expressions. Although it's a cute story, I found the author's approach to deeper lessons on self respect to be a bit confusing. Sounds like a free-school approach here and I'm not sure I agree with the perspective of crying all the time in expressing wants vs. needs and especially hearing about a young child re-training their parents to think like them. In my opinion, there's disappointing story content here.

My Secret Language
Colorful Children's story about Ruthy and how she gets bored and cries. Her parents take her to the amusement park and she loves it, but...
she wanted the heart balloon, NOW and got angry when they didn't get it for her and she cries. Even her tears and pillow and dog want her to stop.
One morning her mother takes care of the problem....they try things her way til she realizes....
love the ending when they all realize it's ok to have tears..

I really wanted to like this book...

Unfortunately, the seemingly random use of bolded words and indenting was incredibly distracting as a reader. We teach our daughter to use a book's formatting as clues on how to emotionally express herself as she reads words. Both of us were struggling with the format in this book.

I think the idea behind the book was good and we'll definitely give another try to other books in the Truthy Ruthy series. Hopefully we'll find other books in the series that are better than this one. :)
