My Daddy is Different

Age range 5+

I used to have a Daddy who was like all other Daddies. One who would go to work, and play with me when he was home.

But one day, something changed. He started saying strange things, doing strange things. I was confused.

Sometimes people can act strangely and it can be a bit frightening and sometimes they need to get help to be better and to feel like themselves again. My Daddy is Different is a beautiful story to nurture any children who might have an adult special to them who is suffering from mental illness.

'This book looks at mental illness and the changes in personality a person can appear to have for a small child in a way that educates and makes mental illness something to be talked about.' - CHILD Mags
