The Monster that Stole my Dad

By Jonathan Alfred Gallup

Ten-year-old Liam loves spending time with his dad. They go to the park, build Lego towers, and play silly games. But sometimes, a "monster" takes over, transforming his dad into a different person. The "monster" makes his dad angry, withdrawn, and scary, and Liam fears he's lost the loving dad he knows and loves. As Liam navigates his own feelings of fear and confusion, he sets out on a journey of understanding. With the help of his friends, teachers, and a supportive counselor, Liam learns about bipolar disorder, finding a way to cope with the "monster" and find strength within himself. This story is a heartwarming exploration of a child's journey through the complexities of mental health, highlighting the importance of empathy, understanding, and the power of resilience.
