Description: This sensitive poetic picture book uses metaphors and beautiful imagery to explain the reasons for our tears making it clear that everyone is allowed to cry and that everyone does. In a soft voice Mario asks Mother why do we cry? His mother thinks for a moment and then begins to tell him about the many reasons for our tears. We cry because our sadness is so huge it must escape from our bodies. Because we don t understand the world and our tears go in search of an answer. Because we can t find the right words and our tears speak a universal language. Most important she tells him we cry because we feel like crying. And as she shows him then sometimes we feel like crying for joy. By exploring the causes of our tears Fran Pintadera's thoughtful poetic picture book story defends the right to cry and reinforces crying's importance as a way to release our pain to calm us and to help us grow. Though the question is asked by the boy the illustrations of his mother's answers feature her as a child adding a layer of empathy to her message.
