Picture books for big children (Crossover)

Inside a Dark Box

by Ritu Vaishnav, Ritu Vaishnav

This is a gentle, quiet picture book about what depression can feel like from the inside. Soft pencil drawings by Rujuta Thakurdesai and very few words show a mind that feels stuck in a dark box. It also offers a small, steady message of courage and hope that there is always a way out. It's a caring way to start a talk about feelings and mental health with older children.
