This book started as an actual hand-written list of things author Erin Klassen does, on a semi-regular basis, when she feels like a pile of crap.

She asked her friend Alex to draw some pictures to make the list seem a bit funnier and sweeter and less depressing, and the result is this little book. The general reaction by friends and strangers who have read it has sounded something like "Ha! I do that too!" and "I love Buffy!"

If you're the type of person who finds comedy in the sad, weird habits that make us human, we think you will like Things I Do When I Feel Blue. Buy it for your coffee table or for a good friend who likes eating peanut butter from the jar and watching Bill Murray clips on the internet. 

Words by Erin Klassen and illustrations and layout by Alex Begin. Production design for the risograph edition by Hannah Browne.
