In her own voice, acclaimed author and poet Nikki Grimes explores
the truth of a harrowing childhood in a compelling and moving
memoir in verse. Growing up with a mother suffering from paranoid
schizophrenia and a mostly absent father, Nikki Grimes found
herself terrorized by babysitters, shunted from foster family to
foster family, and preyed upon by those she trusted. At the age of
six, she poured her pain onto a piece of paper late one night - and
discovered the magic and impact of writing. For many years, Nikki's
notebooks were her most enduing companions. In this accessible and
inspiring memoir that will resonate with young readers and adults
alike, Nikki shows how the power of those words helped her conquer
the hazards - ordinary and extraordinary - of her life.
Mind Like Mine is a stigma-busting collection of biographies of
some of the great people from history who have lived with mental
health conditions. Did you know Charles Darwin experienced anxiety
and Florence Nightingale lived with PTSD? From Michelangelo to
Deepika Padukone, Ada Lovelace to Freddie Flintoff, a great many
successful people with brilliant minds and talents have lived or
are living with mental health disorders. The biographies in this
book show that you can't always tell what a person is going
through, and that mental health conditions can and do impact people
from all walks of life. The aim of this book is to help remove some
of the stigma around mental health, discuss different mental health
conditions, what they mean and how they are treated; and ultimately
to show that mental health disorders do not have to hold anyone
back from achieving their dreams. The figures featured are from a
range of diverse backgrounds and disciplines across science,
literature, art, music, sport, politics and popular culture.
Additional feature pages will explain and explore key mental health
conditions including depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive
compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and eating disorders.
