It emphasizes that bipolar disorder is just a part of who Max is, and with support and love, he can thrive on both sunny and stormy days.

Through vibrant illustrations and simple explanations, Sunny and Stormy Days helps normalize conversations about emotions and mental health, encouraging empathy and support for those with bipolar disorder.
