Milo is a little rhinoceros. He loves everything about rhinos.
One day, he saw his idol Spike-O on TV and said:
Even if something bad happens, the rhinoceros will not cry!
From then on, Milo decided that crying was bad.
So even if his bicycle breaks down, his water bottle breaks, or his ice cream falls on the floor... he won't cry!
One day, Milo's favorite cat Pax disappeared.
He was so sad and sad. It was really difficult for him not to cry...

【宣洩情緒／挫折與成長】英國教師圖書獎入圍畫者
攜手打造．經典兒童情緒主題繪本

──勇敢是件好事，但有時哭泣也沒關係。
米洛是隻小犀牛，他熱愛所有犀牛的一切。
一天，他在電視上看到他的偶像史派克-歐說：
就算是遇到不好的事，犀牛是不會哭的！
從此之後，米洛認定哭泣是不好的。
所以即使他的腳踏車壞了、水瓶摔破了、冰淇淋掉地上……他都不會哭！
一天，米洛最愛的貓咪派克斯不見了，
他好難過好難過，要他不哭真的好難……
◎引導閱讀
小犀牛米洛熱愛所有關於犀牛的一切，但唯獨有一件事讓他有點困擾，那就是他的犀牛偶像史派克-歐曾說：就算遇到不好的事，犀牛也是絕對不哭的！就算很難過很生氣也不哭！
也因此，米洛從此就堅持不哭。腳踏車壞掉了不哭，水瓶打破了不哭，冰淇淋掉到地上更是不哭。但是某天，米洛的寶貝貓咪走失了，他心急的四處張貼跟發放尋貓傳單，而後在戲院的外頭遇見了他的偶像。
此時，難過的米洛終於再也忍不住淚水，嚎啕大哭。令人驚訝的是，他的偶像竟然也跟著大哭了起來！？這個舉動讓米洛疑惑不已，史派克-歐不是說犀牛不能哭嗎？究竟淚水所代表的是好是壞呢？
藉由《我不哭！雖然我很難過》這本書，希望能重新定義孩子對「哭泣」的認知，透過米洛和他的偶像的對話，讓孩子理解：真正的勇敢，並不代表著永遠不能哭泣。適時、適度的哭泣，也是一種宣洩情緒的健康管道，眼淚可以代表挫折與成長，也能代表我們對人事物的愛與珍惜。
但在此同時，家長也需要引導孩子思考，所謂宣洩情緒，並非只是遇到事情就一味地哭泣、不做其他任何的補救措施或思考解決方式，而是要學會在用哭泣表達情緒、舒緩心情過後，能夠調整自己的心理狀態，獲得重新振作的力量，用更積極正向的態度去面對問題。若能讓孩子懂得這個道理，孩子才有機會經由經歷挫折的過程獲得成長。
另外，也希望能藉此故事讓家長思考，比起總是告誡孩子「不要哭」，或許有時拍拍他的肩說「可以哭出來也沒關係」，也是一種選擇和溝通的方案。
好評推薦
當我為我的孫女讀這本書時，她用力地擁抱住我。無論什麼年紀，哭泣都是被允許的。──amazon書評／grandma
［表達你的感受是可以的──勇敢是件好事，哭也沒關係］
這個故事可以引發討論──什麼時候哭泣是可以接受的？（或者確實有必要），以及我們應對事情的態度，會如何隨著時間的推移而改變。對於年幼的孩子來說，這會是一個美好的故事，有美好的結局和可愛的畫面，非常推薦閱讀。──Barnes & Noble書評／Rosemary Standeven
