Children can often use help in understanding and verbalizing their feelings in safe, simple, comforting, and encouraging ways. They must know they are not alone and that things will change and get better. Blue Bear: A Children's Book about Depression addresses the experience of the child with the hurt, but also helps a child know how to help someone who may be hurting. Children will see how Blue Bear starts changing and healing, through the power of community, and also through his courage to help himself.
