A Guide through Sadness

"A Guide Through Sadness" is the first children's book by Espi Tomičić, featuring illustrations by the artist Sretan Bor. It is a collection of poetry for children and adults that, through a specific form, raises awareness that grief is a normal part of life, depicting 13 situations. The illustrations, including their color palette and approach, aim to challenge the conventional image of grief, presenting mourning as a transformation. It is important to talk about grief, and this book serves as a kind of manifesto for that belief.
