Why is the father crying?

What makes you sad? And why do we get sad?

Outside the fence, a father sits and cries.
Why does he do that? Alvdis and Hamsa wonder.
Has anyone been stupid? Or is he just tired? Maybe someone hit him? Or has he fallen over? Or he just ate way too much candy!

In the picture book Why is the father crying? can we follow Alvdis and Hamsa as they think about what reasons there might be for us to cry. A warm, clever and funny children's book that sparks conversations about feelings.

What is different? ❤️

• A man in a suit showing emotion and crying
