Danny and the Blue Cloud

Coping with Childhood Depression

  • Interest Level: Kindergarten - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 3

Danny was born under a blue cloud. He didn’t know why, but sometimes the cloud made him cry. Some days he didn’t want to get out of bed. Some days he was one big GROWL!

With the help of Barnaby the rabbit, Danny learns to think more helpful thoughts, feel better about himself, and dance his way into a better mood! He practices Barnaby’s “Feel-Good Rules” until his cloud turns lighter and brighter. Eventually, Danny learns that he has the power to turn even the biggest, bluest cloud into a beautiful rainbow! Included is a Note to Parents and Caregivers with more information about childhood depression and strategies to support your child’s treatment.
