Help children to learn about challenges to mental health. Depression isn't something that needs to be hidden from kids. We can normalize talking about the ups and downs of life by using picture books to explain the concepts. 

The Beast of Gloom is an illustrated guide to depression, and it is written by me, a psychotherapist in New Jersey. Here is an extract:

His eyes are dark and full of pain,
his heart cries tears like droplets of rain.
His eyes are dark and full of pain,
his heart cries tears like droplets of rain.

The children's book The Beast of Gloom is available now.
