This beautifully illustrated children´s book, finished in watercolour provides wonderful pictures aimed at children from 5 years old. The book follows the story of Daddy Bear and his family as he has a Bipolar episode. His children are dragged along on his rollercoaster ride where he starts many activities - but before they are finished, he moves onto the next. The story explains what can happen during a manic episode and then how a doctor and rest can help calm Daddy Bear's very busy brain. This story helps children understand the behaviours associated with Bipolar Disorder.
