Felix After the Rain by Dunja Jogan

A young man called Felix hides all of his sorrow inside a large black suitcase that he carries with him wherever he goes.

One day, a small boy opens the suitcase whilst Felix is sleeping.

Felix wakes and the tears that he had been carrying for so long suddenly pour from him. Felix is uplifted, free and his heart is full of joy. Felix embraces the world, and the world embraces him. This book is a wonderful resource for young children to talk about sad feelings and how they might feel better if they confide in another person.
