The Colour Thief is a simple, heart‐warming tale which helps to open up the conversations around depression and to support young children whose families have been affected
We follow a young boy who loves spending time with his dad, doing fun things together
When his father becomes sad and distant, he doesn't understand and believes he has done something to make his Dad so, despite being told otherwise
Time passes and his father begins to get happier again and they have fun together like before
Narrated from the child's perspective and illustrated with beautiful pictures by the award‐winning artist Karin Littlewood, this is the perfect book to read with children age 7 years + who are trying to understand the cause and effects of depression, and reassure them that depression passes and their parents are not lost to them
