Once I had a secret that was big and monstery... I thought of it as Blue.
But Blue the monster doesn't have to be scary. And he doesn't have to be a secret. After all, we all feel blue from time to time and talking about it helps.
A friendly, gentle story to help young children navigate big emotions.
