When Daddy’s been in bed ALL day, what will I do? Does he not want to play with me? Or look for monsters in the bathroom, or say hello to penguins, or go to the park? Why does Daddy not want to do these things today? I played with Daddy yesterday, why can’t I play with him today too?
Daddy needs his rest. Daddy isn’t sleepy or lazy, he’s extraordinarily brave.
Ross Mackay’s breathtaking and gentle text is a fantastic, much-needed picture book that helps explain mental heath struggles to younger members of the family. An empathetic glimpse into the needs of a child but also the daily struggle that parents with mental health needs have as they navigate their own path too.
Catherine Lindow’s illustrations are astonishing in their emotive and inclusive way, a truly eye-catching book that will ensure a greater understanding and awareness of mental health needs.
A very important picture book, this is a must-have for every bookshelf.
