Derek is having a really bad day. Nothing is going right at home or at school, and nobody is noticing his awesome new shoes. His day is turning out so rough that he just wants this day and all of his days to end... or so he thinks. Then one kind word from a very popular kid at school, Carlos, changes everything. A kind word really does go a long way. Life always has its ups and downs, good days and bad. Sometimes dark thoughts can overwhelm us, especially children. This important and positive book is a perfect way for parents, teachers, and caregivers to open a dialog with children ages 4-10 about having a bad day and also about how they can brighten the day of someone else who might really need it. The authors met while speaking at a mental health event at the University of Delaware. Dennis was the keynote speaker, and he brought three students up on stage to share their stories. Stephen was one of those students, and this is his story!

Autorenporträt
Dennis Gillan is the executive director of the Half a Sorrow Foundation whose mission is to improve mental health for individuals and organizations by promoting real conversations. Dennis is a national thought leader on the topics of suicide prevention and mental health advocacy. He travels around the world speaking, raising awareness, and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health. He has been deeply touched by suicide after the losses of two of his brothers to suicide, eleven years apart. After years of sitting on the sidelines, he jumped into helping those in need by working on the suicide prevention hotline when he lived in Chicago. After moving to South Carolina, he has become involved with several non-profits that take on mental health issues, which allows him to lobby lawmakers and raise awareness by sharing his story. Dennis did a TEDx talk on loneliness, and recently he started his own non-profit called the Half a Sorrow Foundation. You can find out more information about it here: www.halfasorrow.org
