A good book to have on hand to help students who may be watching their parents go through something similar.  As seen from a young boy’s point of view, it simply tells what it’s like to watch as his father who used to like to go for walks in the big wide colorful world starts to lose interest and says he’s lost his color and spends all day in bed, and throughout the boy keeps worrying that he’s done something wrong, but Dad keeps telling him he didn’t.  Eventually Dad visits people at the hospital who give him medicine for his brain and has someone he can talk to, until gradually the color starts coming back and when the boy fixes him a cup of tea he enjoys it and they return for a walk and a hug and his dad is back.  The book doesn’t pretend it all happened suddenly, but it does provide hope and a sense of empathy for others who might need reassurance.
