Tears have not only the power to help us express our sad emotions, but also the transformative power to heal.

In this book, author Pepita Sandwich argues that the uniquely human behaviour of crying is more than a simple involuntary reaction to painful feelings—it’s an essential function whose power could help us live better, longer, and fuller lives.

Deeply researched and lushly illustrated with colorful and expressive images, this is a moving testament to the importance—even the magic—of letting it all out.
