In the Blue

Erin Hourigan

I've always been my dad's little sunspot.
But one day his world was no longer bright and yellow-it was a deep dark blue.

As one father embarks on an emotional journey his daughter will navigate life lived in and around his depression. Most days the sun won't be able to peek through the clouds. But with each new wave of change love will always bond them together.
This poignant and important story with its use of color to indicate the ups and downs of one family's emotions is an accessible way to discuss mental illness with young readers.
