This book was written with the help of a 15 year old named Grifty. A foreword at the beginning of the book introduces us to Grifty so you you know her before you read the book. Mayo Clinic, a premier hospital that specializes in children and severe illnesses. I’m very happy to know that the proceeds from this book go to Mayo Clinic to further research.

The story is told from a kids POV. Depression can be hard to understand but this book makes it easier. With illustrations that help the reader understand along with a well written book, this should be a book given to any child diagnosed with depression and used in schools as a way to help everyone understand what depression is and how to cope with it. A glossary is included at the end id the book along with resources and further explanations. I love that Mayo Clinic is creating books like this one. A lot of depression information is meant for adults and kids need resources also.
