Hope is the thing with feathers,
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.
- Emily Dickinson -
Understanding bipolar. One color at a time. ​​
​​
Yellow, pink, blue, red, and green.
Colors dance inside Mommy's busy brain.
​
Mommy lives with bipolar disorder,
a mental difference in which moods swing from high to low.
To explain these shifts to her daughter, Mommy describes herself
as a rainbow, turning moods like joy and sorrow into colors. As Mommy paints the world in living color, her daughter learns that Mommy is a wonderfully different artist. Mommy Is a Rainbow is more than a book for children, parents, and guardians. Mommy's voice is that of all those who live with bipolar disorder sharing their colorful world with others.
