The Big Sad

About the Book

The Big Sad is heartfelt story about Bentley Bunny’s growing struggle with anxiety and childhood depression, which he refers to as “the Big Sad.” It addresses the very real emotional and social impacts of anxiety and depression and offers reassurance through the lessons taught by those closest to Bentley. This book is based on my son, who has had a real journey with the Big Sad, and the impact it has on his daily life. As a mother, this is my gift to other mums living with stressed-out, anxious bunnies.

About the Author

Lyndell Clark Australian born and delight in writing many genres of children’s stories. I have written five books and delight in captivating the minds and imaginations of children. As a teacher for over 30 years, I love writing books that make children giggle, think and feel, while relating to many valuable syllabus outcomes. I have researched psychology and believe young children need stories and characters that they can relate to and share experiences with, so they can work through deeper issues in their lives. My stories are based upon my journey of being the mum of three boys. I hope by sharing my experiences through a child’s eye’s I can support families everywhere to contribute to our greatest asset- our children!
