Recensioner i media

This book will go a long way to helping people living with schizophrenia and their loved ones be seen and heard. As someone living with bipolar disorder, I also found the book very inspiring and uplifting, with a hopeful take on what can often be so difficult. It doesn't shy away from the realities of schizophrenia but explains them through the illustrations and language, in an accessible, clear and powerful way
