'The Dog Who Found
Sorrow is an unusual and lyrical tale by Latvian author Rūta
Briede. A clever parable about the power of the emotions, made accessible by
the simplicity of the language, swirling white text and very visual imagery,
will help young children to understand sadness and depression: how sometimes
our world can be full of greyness where everything can look very different. The
dog comes to understand how important it is to visit the source of the sadness
and to find a way to manage it.'
