Sadness · with Luna

“I’m fine.”

Something clearly hurt today. But when you ask, the answer is “nothing,” and the sad feeling stays tucked away.

Luna explores sadness through a quiet evening and a heart she shapes from sand.

Luna waving hello
“See you tomorrow!” Luna waves as her friends swim home. She never says goodbye. The Sighing Hollow goes quiet. Luna’s tentacles droop a little.
Luna shaping a glowing heart from sand in her hollow
She swirls the sand into a glowing heart. “This is how I feel,” she thinks. Soft, and a little heavy. The heart glows just for her.

What Luna does with her heart is in her free mini-story.

Feelings are easier to talk about when they belong to a story character first.

If a child stops enjoying things they used to love, day after day, talk to your pediatrician.
