Ellie's Light

When young Ellie notices that life at home can feel different from one day to the next, she sets out on a quiet journey to understand why her mother sometimes seems bright and full of energy, and other times sad or far away. Along the way, Ellie learns that her mother has Bipolar Disorder-and that changing moods are part of that illness, not a change in who her mother is. As Ellie begins to understand, she discovers that love does not disappear when feelings change. Ellie's Light is a tender and reassuring story that helps children understand a parent's mental illness, offering comfort that even when moods shift, the love between parent and child remains steady.
