The Princess and the Fog: A Story for Children with Depression, by Lloyd Jones Review Depression is fortunately rare in young children but sadly all too common in those around them. This picture book with its simple but accurate text and amusing illustrations is an invaluable aid to talking about depression with children. If your child, or someone important in their life, is affected by depression then this book will help you discuss the causes and treatments of depression in age appropriate language. Lloyd Jones is an "evidence-based author", he has done a very good job of accurately summarising what is known about childhood depression in a way that will amuse as well as inform a young child. -- David Cottrell, Professor of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Leeds, and co-author of NICE, Depression in Children & Young People, Clinical Guideline We don't often think about younger children having depression, what we mistake for early puberty might actually be early signs of depression. This book is aimed at kids ages 5-7 (but kids under 9 will appreciate it as well) describes what kids feel when 'the fog descends' and kids don't want to do anything, or do what they used to.It is also a very good book for kids with parents who suffer from depression, to read and to help understand what is going on with the person with depression, and why they don't act 'like themselves' anymore, but then later they do. The illustrations by Lloyd fit the story perfectly. The book also includes a depression guide for parents and caregivers, by Dr Melinda Edwards and Linda Bayliss, that's offers great tips, suggestions and guidance. This is a book that needs to be at every school, and read to every child!. We highly recommend this book! Bless Their Hearts Mom blog This is a creative and entertaining book that tackles a serious topic/issue that sometimes authors and writers shed away from or don't want to deal with. But depression is real and not only do adults deal with it but so do children and teenagers...I think this would be a great book to have in not only a special education classroom but also general education classrooms... Overall a great book. Dive InTo Books blog The book is beautifully illustrated with the fog/depression prominent throughout and showing how she comes back out of it (and sometimes sinks back in - and I think that is an important note). The end of the book even includes information specifically for the parent/guardian figures about child depression and sadness and how to help in a productive way... I found this children's book both informational and appealing to the eye. Cover2Cover Blog The Princess and the Fog is very helpful book for the many children and families that are dealing with depression. It can help the children and adults understand how it feels, give them understandable vocabulary to use, and find paths to breaking through the barriers that depression can raise. It is a wonderful discussion starter and tool that everyone can use to foster understanding and find tools to work toward solutions. Sharon the Librarian blog This is a delightful picture book covering the sensitive subject of childhood depression... The author uses lively and colourful illustrations to chart the princess's journey through this personal crisis and reassures the reader that this can happen to anyone... The reader is provided with links to professional support services as well as advice for coping at home.This is a helpful resource for parents and for schools and approaches the subject in a child-friendly format. -- Mary Mountstephen, author, editor SEN Magazine An age-appropriate look at depression. Though this picture book opens with "Once upon a time," this is far from a typical princess book. The title princess loves to read books, ride horses, and play outside with her friends. Everything begins to change, however, when a fog, symbolizing depression, creeps in. Slowly, the princess feels sad and lonely, no longer enjoys the activities she once did, and doesn't want to leave her palace or see her friends. Her well-meaning parents try everything they can to make her smile, but nothing works. Eventually, a friend asks the princess if she wants to talk. By discussing her feelings, setting up daily challenges, and receiving advice from various people, the princess begins to feel better. The people in her life and the advice that she receives also help her deal with the dark clouds when they return. This title effectively conveys what depression feels like to children. The fairy tale-type story and the striking, dynamic illustrations, which use color to indicate the princess's changing mood, make a heavy topic accessible. A special author's note is included for caregivers on helping children with depression. VERDICT A good option for educating children about mental health, and a solid choice for caregivers who are struggling with depression and want to educate the younger members of their families about the topic.

Depression needs to be part of children's vocabulary. Without accurate information, many children are influenced by myths about depression (i.e. just snap out of it) or have no idea that their feelings of distress are out of the norm. Left untreated, depression can wreak havoc on an individual's life. Twenty percent of teens experience depression and 1 in 8 have thoughts of suicide.This is a great book for parents and anyone who works with children, especially at risk populations--Health teachers, school counselors, therapists...Depression Symptomseating or sleeping too much or too littlefeeling hopeless, guilty, ashamedneglecting hygienelow self esteem, self critical, pessimisticlack of interest in activities that used to be enjoyedlow energy, difficulty focusing and making decisions/plansirritability, aggression (teens more likely to exhibit this, rather than sadness)gives up easily“flat” facial expression, tone of voiceschool performance worsensphysical complaints (e.g. frequent stomachaches)Suicidal Ideation Signsdepressiondeath themes in drawings and writingsdoes not make future plans, does not think life will get betterspeech or behavior that may indicate person is saying “goodbye” (e.g. gives away belongings)indications that the person feels like a burden to others (e.g. guilt, shame)getting items that could be used for self harm (e.g. over the counter, prescription, illegal drugs)individuals at higher risk for suicide:- those who have known someone who committed suicide, including acquaintances- individual and/or their family members have mental health/substance abuse disorders- experienced death of a loved one- experienced bullying, social exclusion & social isolation- victims of physical, sexual, emotional abuse & neglect and other traumas
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Delicate Topic Dealt With in an Amazing Way By Grateful Grandma The Princess and the Fog: A Story for Children with Depression by Lloyd Jones is a helpful picturebook for readers of all ages. It begins, as do many good stories: "Once upon a time, there was a Princess." This Princess was happy, loved, and content... until the fog came. Soon she did not want to do her favorite things, or anything really. A persistent friend offered to listen, and soon the princess was able to share with others about the presence of the fog and how it made her feel. She went to the `doctor`who whipped something up (medication) and they banished the fog, at least for now, and have a plan to deal with it when it makes periodic returns. This is a creative and entertaining book that tackles a serious topic/issue that many people do not want to deal with and is often not recognized, but depression is real and not only do adults deal with it but so do children and teenagers. This book describes and illustrates simply and beautifully the onset of depression, the experience of it at its worst, and the various self-help methods available to deal with it. More importantly, 'A Guide for Parents and Carers' at the back of the book and written by medically qualified professionals does differentiate between low mood and depression, assisting in defining the two. A great book for families dealing with the issue of depression or classrooms where a student has depression.Thank you Netgalley and Jessica Kingsley Publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.
