Oskar and Aya are best friends who do everything together. Oskar especially loves taking Aya to the construction site where his aunt works. While most of the time they have loads of fun together, sometimes Oskar feels sad and wants to be alone. And that can leave Aya feeling helpless.



What is the best way to be a friend when someone is hurting?



Aya has an idea and goes to the construction site to see if Oskar's aunt and friends can help her put it into motion. They are missing Oskar too.



When My Friend Is Sad addresses mental health with unflinching candor and compassion and shows how sadness is a normal part of life, something to be allowed rather than fixed.



Readers might see themselves in both characters - sometimes suffering as Oskar does, and sometimes being an ally as Aya is.



The story contains light STEM/STEAM connections to construction, which acts as a subtle metaphor for building a friendship and creating something stable and lasting that can withstand the ups and downs of normal human emotions.
