Manny’s Mood Clouds

A picture book explaining mood disorders to children ages 5-7

Manny has mood clouds... a big red cloud when he's frustrated, a purple one when he is panicked and even a yellow one when he's so happy that he has too much energy. Manny's brother Elijah doesn't know what to do or how to help. This picture book for ages 5-7 helps children understand mood disorders and how to support friends and siblings.

What is Elijah to do?

Elijah's brother Manny has been different lately. Not different in how he looks, or feels, or sounds. Just different in how he acts. Not to mention the big colourful clouds above his head! There are yellow ones, and red ones, and blue and purple too... Elijah has tried to make the clouds above Manny's head go away but they always seem to stay!

Join Elijah and Manny as they find out more about mood disorders and discover how to support a friend or sibling with their difficult feelings. Ideal for ages 5+, the book also includes a short guide for adults with tips on supporting children impacted by mood disorders.
