Praise
“In this child’s-eye view of a father’s depression, evocative language and lush, color-saturated art show how a girl’s imagination helps her swim through loss and heal.”
—A Best Children’s Book of 2022, The New York Times Book Review
“For decades, depression has been hidden from children, but that has turned out to be bad policy. This poignant, gentle book breaks that prohibition and will be immensely helpful to anyone caring for the child of someone with major depression. It fills an important gap in literature for young children.”
—Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon (winner of the National Book Award) and Far From the Tree
“‘A long time passes before I find out where he’s gone. Maybe everyone else has known all along.’ The suspension of knowing stretches across the first few pages, poignantly evoking the all-too-common childhood feeling that no one tells you anything. . . . . Stridsberg’s child’s-eye view of mental illness conjures how young people explain gaps in knowledge, their openness to unlikely friendships, the vulnerability of a formative age — and what memories of it survive into adulthood.”
—Bonnie Tsui, The New York Times Book Review
