About the story...Sophie went outside to play, and it started to rain. That's when the magic begins...she laughs with a kingfisher and dances with angels on a rainbow. Later, we discover that Sophie's mother has stayed in bed all day. Daddy makes up a story for Sophie and her mother, creating an intricate yet concrete illustration of some of the faces of manic depression. As you read you can feel the family growing a shared understanding of this complex, bewildering disorder. Our heroine, Sophie, sets us all a good example in seeing wonder and excitement in a dreary day of rain. |
