It is a comforting book that prepares young readers for the hard parts of knowing someone with bipolar, while communicating that bipolar is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of. Providing an excellent starting point for discussion both at home and in the classroom, it also includes a helpful list of recommended sources for additional support. Market: Parents of children aged 7+; education staff; child counsellors; social workers; family and friends of people affected by bipolar disorder.
