Sometimes I Cry

Jess Townes

A child describes tears prompted by many kinds of feelings and everyday experiences. A skinned knee brings pain, while striking out in baseball leads to disappointment. The child also cries from anger, fear, sadness, laughter, and powerful love. As the feelings build, crying makes them feel manageable again. The book presents tears as a response that can accompany many emotions and affirms that the child can cry.
