A very brief illustrated representation of depression. I agree with another reviewer who said it could have been longer. The ending was abrupt.
But definitely a worthy addition on this topic.

‘Night skills: the ability to survive inside my own darkness‘
Totally opposite end of the #PictureBooksAtoZ spectrum, but equally awesome. This is a beautiful adult picturebook (no, I didn‘t know that was a thing) documenting the author‘s experience of depression. There are dragons. There is darkness. There are trite unhelpful comments (‘chin up!‘) But eventually something shifts.
Brilliantly done with very few words. And gorgeous to boot. #BBRC
An adult picture book about the author‘s experience with depression. The pictures and the very short text are evocative and capture her feelings well. There were a few illustrations that I could relate to with my experience with anxiety. Powerful, but it is almost too short. I think it could have been more impactful with some more content added.
A beautiful picture book that illustrates how living with depression can feel like battling dragons. The book tells the author's own experience with depression, and it does it well!
My second book for #24in48 #readathon
A beautiful graphic representation of living with the dragons of depression on a daily basis.
Thanks for the suggestion @Kalalalatja - it's beautifully done both art-wise and the seeming simplicity of the text. Excellent.
