Summary: Superbly written and emotional
Comment: Very highly recommended for school, community, and family counseling center library collections, Mommy Stayed In Bed This Morning: Helping Children Understand Depression by Mary Wenger Weaver is a superbly written and emotional, instructive picture book showing a pre-schooler learning to cope with his mother's struggle with severe depression. Young David's grandparents, doctor, teacher, pastor, and church family all help him understand and face the daily reality of depression in this quite serious story, which is wonderfully enhanced by Mary Chambers heartfelt illustrations.

Summary: Overall a good book, but lacking on some points
Comment: I've been doing alot of searching lately for books to help me explain my depression (actually I'm Bipolar) to my children. This book helped, but wouldn't be the first one I'd recommend. My 8 yr old daughter and I read this together, and it wasn't her first choice of the books we've read about depression, either. I did like that it included a section on the mom going to the hospital, something I've had to do several times. I didn't expect the spiritual overtones to it. I didn't object to them, since I am a Christian, but my daughter found it a bit confusing since the Sunday School teacher and pastor in the book are supportive and helpful of the family in the story and our church has been anything but supportive. Overall a good book for explaining clinical depression, but having read it and others, this wouldn't be my first choice.
