"I don't know when it began. Perhaps it drifted in at night like fog." For the length of this fierce, fearless picture book aimed at teen readers, an older child describes living with depression. The largely black-and-white art features a stalker-like dragon representing depression's tenacity. Gliori, who explains in an author's note that she writes from experience, leaves the narrator--and, hopefully, the reader--feeling optimistic.
