Klappentext
BLACK AND WHITE EDITION"As a parent, I wish I had this book many years ago..." Professor Pat McGorry AO, Leading Psychiatrist and Professor of Youth Mental Health and Research at the University of Melbourne
My dad built me the best and wackiest cubby ever is a timely and compassionate story about a child and father setting out to build a cubbyhouse under streaming sunshine. Until clouds snake in on a hazing horizon... skies swell, a clouding storm brews and finally breaks and swirls into pouring rains and eventually subsides. All the while, the cubby grows wackier, with the rustiest of riches that rattle and rule!
This is all a metaphor for the father's mental ill health that gently aligns with the building of the cubby and changing weather and emotions.
Mental ill health can be a challenge to understand because we can't 'see' anything wrong or broken with the brain. This warm-hearted story with black and white illustrations throughout helps give some understanding of mental health through the eyes of a child building a cubby with its father.
The chapter book is ideal for 5-12 year olds and comes with teacher resources to support student learning, illustrated prompts and a list of resources for carers, health professionals and families to draw upon.
