''Als Mama nur noch traurig war'' German language Book

Jan is five years old when the Grumpy Grump comes. Mama's Grumpy Grump. They are in a terribly bad mood. They think everything is bad, and they keep talking to Mama until she believes them. Her world has turned completely grey as a result. She hardly laughs anymore, doesn't want to do anything anymore and everything is too much for her - even Jan! Jan is very miserable because of it. Is he possibly to blame for the fact that mom is doing so badly...?

Children of parents struggling with mental illness often receive little attention - and they are the ones who need special attention. Because if they are not supported and accompanied during this difficult time, the risk of them have mental health struggles themselves is significantly increased. Jan's story paints a sensitive picture of the fear of loss and the feelings of shame and guilt that affected children often have to struggle with. It illustrates how depression develops and what you can do about it. And above all, it makes it clear: No one is to blame - certainly not the children! With an afterword for parents by qualified psychologist Ina Knocks

Customer Reviews (4.7 / 5 · 3 reviews)

Hazel ★★★★★

The illustrations are gentle enough for a young child, and the story helped my son understand why I was so sad after his father left. It's opened up conversations we couldn't have before.

Ruby I. ★★★★★

My five-year-old immediately latched onto the "Grumpy Grump" idea, which made talking about Mama's sad days so much easier for her. The simple, gentle illustrations really help a young child understand a complex feeling without being scared.

Victoria U. ★★★★☆

The "Grumpy Grump" metaphor is clever and helps explain a tough topic to little ones, though I wish the story went a bit deeper for older kids. The hardcover pages are sturdy enough for repeated reading with my five-year-old.
