Medikidz Explain Depression #[nn]

A team of red-and-white-costumed superheroes surrounds a young man in a yellow shirt on this striking 2011 cover — the Medikidz assembled and ready to tackle one of mental health's most important topics. Written by Kim Chilman-Blair and Shawn deLoache, this volume from Rosen Publishing uses the superhero format to make the subject of depression approachable and understandable for young readers. It's an earnest, thoughtfully conceived project that meets kids where they are, wrapping real medical information in an adventure-comics package.
