What’s Wrong With Barnaby? is a children’s picture book by Sherry Roberts. Barnaby loved playing in the snow with his friends. They made a snowman and dressed him in a hat and Barnaby’s scarf. They also made a fort and had snowball fights. Barnaby was happy for a few days but he began to feel sad and wished the snow would disappear. The sun didn’t shine anymore and Barnaby became very unhappy. He didn’t even want to play with his friends and decided to read his favorite book about pirates and sea monsters. But that didn’t make Barnaby feel better. Neither did the other books he read. Barnaby missed the sun. He decided to bring it back by creating his own. Maybe that will make him happy again.
I’m sure many children experience the blues just like Barnaby. They wish the snow or rain would disappear when they become bored. Nothing they do will keep their attention for long. Barnaby suffered from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) which can affect both adults as well as children. I liked how Barnaby dealt with SAD. He didn’t want to have the blues and tried different activities to stay happy. Sherry Roberts has written a lovely story that shows how children can cope with seasonal affective disorder (SAD). The illustrations by David Sanchez are also nice too. What’s Wrong With Barnaby? by Sherry Roberts is a picture book that parents and teachers will find useful to help children fight the blues. I recommend it.
