With unmitigated honesty, a touch of humor, and sensitive illustrations by Quentin Blake, Michael Rosen explores the experience of sadness in a way that resonates with us all. Sometimes I'm sad and I don't know why.It's just a cloud that comes along and covers me up. Sad things happen to everyone, and sometimes people feel sad for no reason at all. What makes Michael Rosen sad is thinking about his son, Eddie, who died suddenly at the age of eighteen. In this book the author writes about his sadness, how it affects him, and some of the things he does to cope with it--like telling himself that everyone has sad stuff (not just him) and trying every day to do something he can be proud of. Expressively illustrated by the extraordinary Quentin Blake, this is a very personal story that speaks to everyone, from children to parents to grandparents, teachers to grief counselors. Whether or not you have known what it's like to feel deeply sad, the truth of this book will surely touch you.

Great product, great company!

I found some of this years ago and loved it. Ran out, couldn't figure out where to find more then this last Christmas my mother gives me some of the rose salve and I remembered how much I loved the lotion. So as I was looking for more of the rose salve (also AMAZING) I got some of the lotion. It goes on really light feeling, but has some serious softening abilities. I use the salve on my knuckles first then use like a Chick-pea size amount of the lotion overnight and my hands are great the next day, especially considering how much I've been washing my hands and using hand sanitizer these last few weeks. It smells like lemon meringue pie, and is more lightly perfumed than BBB stuff (which I love since I'm prone to headaches). I love CO Bigelow products, have yet to try one I dislike. I use the overnight lip balm in the winter or during colds when my lips crack and dry the most. I use the rose salve for my regular daytime lip balm (stuff is the duct tape of the salve world, no joke!) and for extra relief on any dry skin.
Some might argue it's a little expensive for the size you get, but you don't need much of any of them so they last forever. I still have half a tube of rose salve lip balm from Christmas and I use it every day, several times. They all smell good, they all feel really clean on, they do what they're supposed to without adding products (like glycerin) that will cause further dryness or chapping. Thank you so much, CO Bigelow for making so many quality products and being so consistent with the quality for so long. Fan for life here!
