It is a fact that there are days when we all feel down. It's human! This book, with its wonderful photographs and approximately 100 captions, examines the feelings of pessimism that sometimes overwhelm us, from the right perspective, and assures us - to our great surprise - that we are not the only ones in the world who feel failure, loneliness, and its grandeur. Using black and white animal photographs, accompanied by witty texts, it conveys a message of optimism full of subtlety, compassion, and humor. Gradually, it lifts us out of our "blues," examining how we feel, what caused these emotions, but mainly how to overcome them. And in the end... We smile!
