The Colour Thief is a simple, heart-warming tale which helps to
open up the conversations around depression and to support young
children whose families have been affected. We follow a young boy
who loves spending time with his dad, doing fun things together.
When his father becomes sad and distant, he doesn't understand and
believes he has done something to make his dad so, despite being
told otherwise. Time passes and his father begins to get happier
again and they have fun together like before. Narrated from the
child's perspective and illustrated with beautiful pictures by the
award-winning artist Karin Littlewood, this is the perfect book to
read with children aged 7-9 years old who are trying to understand
the cause and effects of depression, and reassure them that
depression passes and their parents are not lost to them. 'It's
crucial kids learn about depression; that it's nothing to feel
ashamed about and they are not alone - one fourth of the world
knows what it feels like. It's going to be them that break the
stigma, not us.' Ruby Wax 'This book brings freshness and vibrancy
into a world often portrayed as dark and hidden, and it can help
take away the feelings of helplessness and fear that can make
families feel so alone.' Marjorie Wallace CBE, Hon FRC Psych,
Founder of SANE. 'Vividly depict[s] a young boy's reaction to his
father's depression... it's worth sharing this clever and heartfelt
book with the kids in your life.' - Elise Moon (6) and Nick Moon
