There is a video of it on You tube too.

My wife and I have started to talk to our children (15) and (9) about my illness. It is hard for our youngest child to understand and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions, maybe even picture books or children's books that deal with depression or dealing with the 'The Black Dog'?</P> <P>Looking forward to your thoughts/recommendations.</P> <P>Thanks everyone</P> <P> </P> Tue, 10 May 2016 03:36:48 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/books-to-share-with-children-about-depression/m-p/152846#M23853 Tri-addict 2016-05-10T03:36:48Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/books-to-share-with-children-about-depression/m-p/152847#M23854 Hello Tri-addict, there is a book called 'I Had A Black Dog' which is worth looking up.
