Everybody Cries

This is a story about a boy named Andrew and his relationship with his father and grandfather. Andrew is a sensitive child who tends to cry easily at little things. His father, wanting to teach him to be strong and not overly emotional, often encourages Andrew to be a 'big boy' and not cry over trivial matters.

However, the story takes a turn when Andrew's beloved grandfather passes away. Andrew experiences deep sadness but suppresses his tears, fearing his father's disapproval. Andrew's mother, understanding his grief, tries to console him and offer comfort during this difficult time.

Eventually, Andrew's father comes to realize the error in his approach. He recognizes that his rigid definition of being a 'big boy' was misguided and that allowing emotions and expressing vulnerability are natural and important aspects of life. The realization leads to a shift in his perspective and a newfound understanding of his son's emotions.

This book explores empathy, understanding, and the importance of emotional expression, highlighting the transformative journey of Andrew and his father's relationship as they navigate grief and personal growth together.
