Everybody Gets the Blues

Chase Those Dreary Blues Away!
Everybody gets the blues sometimes—dogs and cats, moms and dads, even tiny babies. Just take a look around. If you help someone else who's feeling sad, you might find that your blues are gone. Or maybe the Blues Guy will come along, to listen or sing the blues with you and sit by your side. A native of New Orleans, Leslie Staub wrote this story after experiencing Hurricane Katrina. Yet this book's rhythmic, bluesy text and hip, eye-catching illustrations are just right for anyone who's ever felt those mysterious feelings of sadness—then found that hope and sunnier skies are close at hand.
