'A formerly happy and active child changes when a monster moves in but overcomes depression with the help of her grandmother.

'Molly loves playing in the sunshine, time with friends, and cuddling up by the fire to watch cartoons. She hasn’t a worry in her head until the day her monster moves in and changes the way she sees her world.

'Soon, Molly no longer takes joy in the activities she previously enjoyed, and her friends no longer come around, and her monster is her constant companion. But one day, her supportive grandma comes to visit and over time coaxes Molly to talk and resume the things she loves until her monster is no longer a constant presence in her life in this lyrical, poetic, and thoughtfully illustrated story about overcoming depression.'
