Living with Mom is a bit like a roller coaster ride. At times, she is excited and full of energy, but at others, she is tired and withdrawn. But she’s always my mom, and we’re sharing the ride. For children who grow up in the care of a parent who has bipolar disorder, life can be filled with anxiety and uncertainty.
Why I like this book: Up and Down Mom addresses the story of a child with a mother with bipolar disorder in a gentle manner. Is a great introduction to navigating mental illness, and it’s a great way to start a child appropriate conversation about this topic.
