  The Blue Day Book is a wonderful collection of amusing, poignant animal photos and inspired captions guaranteed to lift the spirits of anyone who's got the blues. The fact is, we all have our bad days - they are an intrinsic part of being human. As prescribed by The Blue Day Book in its delightful photo and text messages, the solution is to see each incident in perspective, recognize that our feelings of failure and loss are not unique, acknowledge the absurdities of our existence and glory in the potential we all have. In less than one hundred sentences, The Blue Day Book conveys this message with great humour. Its vehicle is charming black-and-white photographs of animals that are strangely human and completely free of judgement or pretension. The images take us through the entire evolution of a blue day, examining what it feels like, what causes it and how to get over it.
