A Time For Rain

by Kelly Brogan, Sofia Brogan Fink

No one wants to be sad, right? What if there were a magic potion to keep everything easy, comfortable, and happy? Would you take it? Travel to the land of Sangati where Asha and her family were praying for rain during a mysteriously dry period that was causing everything to fall out of balance, and her grandmother to be ill. Little did she know that the Sky Beings in charge of the weather and natural cycles were all under a happiness spell. Indra had forgotten that her tears were important, however, not only to her, but to the the very land below. Find out how she breaks the spell, saves Asha, her family, and heals the land with the sensitivity of her heart. Written by New York Times and international bestselling author and holistic psychiatrist, Kelly Brogan MD and her daughter, this story is offered as support for parents seeking to create room for feelings. Making room for feelings involves the acceptance of seemingly negative emotion as meaningful and even healing. The greatest gift we can give to our children, and to this planet, is permission to feel it all.

beautiful story apropos for the times

I’ve followed Kelly Brogan for some time now, I was first introduced as I went through the most difficult time of life leaving anti depressants behind after 25 years. I heard her speak and it was music to my ears. What a lovely story with beautiful, colorful, and uplifting illustrations. A lovely read for children and adults of all ages.

Wonder-FUL. This book beautifully illustrates the meaning of ALL our emotions. Just like plants, animals, humans can't live with sun only - it also needs rain. Likewise we can't live with joy only. We need sadness, grief, tears,... as there is an important message for us in it. Many many thanks to Kelly Brogan and her amazing daughter Sophia!!

...May we feel everything there is to feel, everyday...

I love many things about this allegorical ‘children’s book’ by Dr. Brogan and her daughter. The colorful art, the simplicity of the message—

Feelings need to be felt and not medicated. And as a holistic Women’s Health Psychiatrist, Dr. Brogan is at the leading front of this ‘civil war’ against our children in particular.
