Dan Granger – Why is Sam so Sad? Seasonal Affective Disorder and Depression from a Child’s Perspective. This is episode 691 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.

Dan Granger has coped with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) every winter since he was a child growing up in Wisconsin. As a former teacher of 15 years, he combines his professional experiences and personal background to deliver an informative and inspiring children’s book: Why Is Sam So Sad? Seasonal Affective Disorder and Depression from a Child’s Perspective (Christian Faith Publishing).

The son of an accountant and salesman, he received his bachelor’s degree from University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Special Education LD/ED and earned a master’s degree from University of Northern Arizona for Early Childhood Education. 

His adventurous side has been served by scuba-diving in Jamaica, mountain-biked down the hills of Park City Utah, jumping out of a plane twice, hiking from the bottom of the Grand Canyon to the top of Mount Humphries and then hiking to the top the top of Mount Timpanogos in Utah. He also jumped into the freezing cold waters during the polar plunge.

Our focus today will be talking about Seasonal Affective Disorder and Dan’s book – Why is Sam so Sad? Seasonal Affective Disorder and Depression from a Child’s Perspective.
