In this touching miniature tale by Nankichi Niimi, a little snail confides in a friend: “The shell on my back is full of sadness.” As the two snails talk, they gently explore where such feelings come from and what they might mean. Though written for children, Snail’s Sadness carries a quiet, thoughtful philosophy that speaks to readers of all ages. If you’ve ever felt lonely or sad for no reason at all, you might find comfort in remembering the snail’s tiny shell. A beautiful story — perfect for reading aloud to children.
