"The Big Little Book of Happy Sadness" by Colin Thompson tells the touching story of a young boy named George who feels an overwhelming sense of sadness despite the happy moments in his life. One day, he discovers a little kitten who's also in need of love and companionship. As George takes care of the kitten, they both experience intertwined feelings of joy and sorrow. The narrative beautifully explores themes of friendship, loss, and the power of connection, illustrating how happiness can arise from melancholic experiences, and how caring for others can bring unexpected joy and healing.
