Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Bipolar Bear Family is a story about a young cub who struggles to understand his mother's behavior and her subsequent diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. The story of The Bipolar Bear Family helps children of bipolar parents address such questions as: Is this my fault? Is it contagious? Can I fix it? According to the National Institute for Mental Health, Bipolar Disorder affects more than 2 million American adults. Further, we know that the dynamics of Mental Illness closely mirror the dynamics of alcoholism and addiction in its impact on the family system. By compassionately educating parents and children, the author hopes to make a life-long difference for these courageous families.

I own a copy of this wonderfully illustrated little book. It addresses the issues of bipolar disorder in a way that young children can understand. It isn't technical or complicated at all. The illustrations and story combined make for a great little tool that can be used to teach children about bipolar disorder. I have read this book to young children myself and have found that, although they may have questions about bipolar disorder itself, it certainly isn't to technical for them to read. I highly recomend this book for children who need to know about bipolar disorder!!!

Okay, never mind that the author is my sister-in-law. This is a great children's book. It handles a very difficult topic (mental illness) in a very straightforward yet sympathetic manner. It doesn't patronize at all. I'm glad to be one of the very first owners of this book, and I think it is a must-have for family therapists everywhere.
