We often avoid Big Things with children. We imagine that children cannot understand complicated and frightening topics like grief, depression, mental illness. When children are struck by tragedy, they are further disadvantaged because they lack the language to describe their experiences.
I wrote this book during the pandemic to help bridge this gap. This book offers a way of understanding both the physical and emotional toll of depression. Both children and adults who have experienced loss will relate to the Fox’s sleepiness, his anger, his confusion, and heartache. This book affirms the child who is experiencing overwhelming grief, while also offering gentle reassurance that things will not always remain this dark.
