“Is today a kite day?”. A child asks his mother this many times over the course of a year; the kite being a metaphor for good mental health. Some days it’s easy to fly the kite, but some days the weather is all wrong, which can be frustrating and confusing for them both. With beautiful illustrations, this is a story told with great care. This picture book is an important read for any child with a loved one who has a mood disorder.
