One of my favorite books about depression for kids, a must have four my bookshelf ♥️
عن المشاعر المحبطة والأيام الصعبة، وعن أنه لا بأس في أن تشعر باليأس والانزعاج، ولكن إياك أن تستسلم، اصبر فإن لمآسيك نهاية. أحببت تنسيق النصوص، لكن الرسومات -رغم ذكائها وجمالها- اشعرتني بعدم الارتياح.
This is a book for adults not young children. The illustrations are well done. Yet, even the significance of what they represent would have to be explained to a child.
This unique, lyrical picture book looks at sadness and, at the end, a bit of hope. Nice to use along with "Michael Rosen's Sad Book". Not for the littlest ones, but definitely for sensitive children on up to adults. Interesting writing prompt.
This book is nothing short of magical. It takes children seriously and treats their world and their emotions with respect and understanding. Reading this felt like returning to childhood and getting a glimpse of a lost world you once belonged to.
The Red Tree is the story of a lonely girl, her day full of worries and depression. Though this is a story told mainly in pictures, it is not specifically a child’s story – anyone of any age who has felt bleakness and depression will resonate with the truth in its pages.
The paintings are stunningly beautiful and evoke perfectly the emotions of the small girl as she travels though her day. The title refers to the red tree – a symbol of hope – which scatters its leaves throughout the pages until finally sprouting into a fully grown tree at the end of the book.
Words cannot adequately do justice to this book – you would really need to see it for yourself, as well as Tan’s other equally extraordinary books. He really is one of Australia’s most talented author/illustrators.

Probably a little more relatable for adults than children, but sweet and a beautiful, though maybe a little understated ending.
Such a beautiful piece of art. This may be a picture book, but it's by no means a kid's book. It's about keeping your chin up, looking for the beauty in all situations, even the depressing ones. Hope will be there- your red leaf of hope is always there.
Thank you, Sarah, for buying me this.

A gentle approach to raising sadness, depression and mental health with children. Illustrations, as with all Tan's books are exceptional and apt. Hope is the perfect ending.
