Dark cloud
(Book)

"Abigail has a dark cloud. One day it appears and then it's always with her, taking different shapes. At school, it's a ball of worries following behind her. At ballet class, it's a fog that gets in the way of her grand jetés. At a birthday party, it's a shadow that takes away her appetite. How can Abigail find a way to step outside her dark cloud when it's always there? And then one day, she has a bright idea. Learning to live with and understand her dark cloud, along with some support from her father and a friend, helps Abigail find moments of sunshine again. In this evocative picture book, written with compassion and care, a little girl visualizes her depression as a way of learning to cope. The compelling visual narrative and lyrical text combine to give kids tools they can use to understand and express their own feelings of sadness and depression as well as empathize with others. A hopeful but realistic approach to a difficult topic."--,Provided by publisher.
