Michael Rosen's Sad Book is a 2004 non-fiction book by English children's author Michael Rosen. Illustrated by Quentin Blake, the book deals with the topic of grief. Although it is marketed as a children's book, Rosen explicitly mentions on the inside book jacket that it is for everyone. The book chronicles Rosen's grief over the loss of his son Eddie, who died of meningococcal septicaemia aged 18.[1]
