Tommy's Mummy is Sad

Drawing from her personal experience of depression, Christian author Celeste Majcher has produced this beautiful A4 full-colour picture book to help explain depression to children, reassuring them that it is nothing to do with them, their behaviour or achievements.

Poor Tommy the frog is desperate to cheer up his mummy with his brilliant schoolwork or his clever diving tricks, but as his plans come unravelled, he learns just how much his mummy loves him, and that her depression is not caused by him. ‘Tommy’s Mummy is Sad’ is a lovely book to share about mental health with 3-7s. (‘Tommy’s Mummy is Sad’ mentions God once at the end, but that’s it – so could be a good gift for friends of other faiths or none.)
