One young boy chats to the reader about the bug in his mummy's head and how it makes him feel. With discussion prompts at the end of his story, this book is a valuable resource for explaining to children some of the behaviours and feelings surrounding depression, and crucially allowing them to both ask questions about others and open up about their own feelings.
Many parents find themselves unsure how to explain their illness or the illness of another family member when it can be so changeable or invisible. Written by a parent, for parents, this short story enables parents and carers to open a discussion about mental health with young children. Read together or alone - a gentle and honest approach to empathy and self-awareness.
Ebook now also including the workbook drawing and discussion exercises.
