Trade Review
Vividly depict[s] a young boy's reaction to his father's depression... it's worth sharing this clever and heartfelt book with the kids in your life. * Elise Moon (6) and Nick Moon (42), Kent - Single Step Magazine *
I would wholeheartedly recommend this; it is honest, compassionate and soothing. * Playing by the Book *
Sensitive and touching... and one that parents, carers and teachers will find invaluable. * Parents in Touch *
A hugely important book, expertly developed and written and something that would be a huge huge help for children struggling to understand the symptoms and the changes that depression can cause. * Read It Daddy! *
What is important about Andrew and Polly Peters' work is it offers light at the end of the tunnel. * Evening Echo (Cork) *
The Colour Thief is a book of great power and real value to families struggling with depression * School Librarian *
It's crucial kids learn about depression; that it's nothing to feel ashamed about and they are not alone - one fourth of the world knows what it feels like. It's going to be them that break the stigma, not us. -- Ruby Wax
