Tears Are Not Forever / Las lágrimas no son para siempre

Young children learn that everybody cries, how crying can help them, and ways they can cope with challenging feelings.

“You cry when you’re sad or mad. Crying gets the hurt out.” This English-Spanish bilingual board book reassures children that everybody cries and gives them space to cry and experience their “down” feelings.

Sadness and disappointment are common, recurring emotions that children can learn to understand, handle, and grow from. With vivid illustrations and straightforward suggestions, Tears Are Not Forever/Las lágrimas no son para siempre provides practical advice for coping with these challenging feelings. “Remember, tears are not forever. In a little while, you'll feel better.”

A section for adults reinforces the book’s message that crying is a natural, normal response to strong feelings and includes tips and activities in both English and Spanish to help children express and handle their feelings.
