Description

The Parakeet is a poignant and playful story about a young boy's struggle to cope with his mother's illness. Her frequent episodes leave him feeling heartbroken and confused, but also searching for a way to hold onto the love they share.

Through the eyes of this resilient child, we see the devastating impact of mental illness on families and the power of imagination as a source of comfort and strength. This powerful and deeply personal tale is based on the creator's own childhood experiences and offers a unique insight into the complexities of living with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

With sensitivity and nuance, The Parakeet explores the intricate bonds between parent and child, and the ways in which love can both sustain us and tear us apart. This is a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to understand and cope with mental illness.
