Axolotl Ollie and the Great Big Sad

By A. L. Larrabee

A sweet friendship story that offers comfort to anyone who feels alone and the invitation for children to talk about their feelings

"Axolotls aren't sad, he thinks, so why oh why am I?"

When axolotl Ollie feels blue without knowing why, his best friend El tries (and mostly fails) to cheer him up. She suggests all sorts of things that usually help when she's sad; they read together, paint, eat warm stew, and exercise, but even dressing like a clown or putting on a show can't crack Ollie's broken smile.

Written in rhyme, Axolotl Ollie shows us all that sometimes, we just need to feel our sadness, and the best help of all is the presence of someone who cares enough to stay.
