Rio has a talent for helping his friends when they feel sad. He eases the sadness for a classmate who has to go to a new school, and he gets help from an adult when another friend at school seems overwhelmed by sad feelings. But when Rio himself is feeling sad, it's time to reach out and talk with others to make himself feel better.
This is a great opportunity to read with your kids no matter their age. Prek-grade 8 ish. I enjoyed it for myself and I'm in my thirties. It's a good book which talks about sadness, advice and how to talk about it at the end of the book.. it definitely opens up the ability for conversation especially if you have a closed off person in your life
