Amazon blurb: ‘In the Books Beyond Words series the stories are told through pictures only. They are for adults with learning (intellectual) disabilities, but are useful for anyone with communication difficulties. Sonia is a young woman with learning disabilities. She is very sad and avoids her friends and family. At home, she unhappily retires to bed. Sonia’s GP (family doctor) says that she is depressed and suggests that she see a therapist. Regular visits to the therapist help Sonia to feel better, and we see that she starts to enjoy life again. There is text at the back of the book that includes: background information on depression, guidance for supporters and carers on using the books, a suggested storyline, plus updated contact details for supporting organisations and related resources.’
