Childhood Revealed: Art Expressing Pain, Discovery & Hope

Rating:
Summary: Visionary Work
Review: Through art, the reader learns and experiences aspects of mental illness. The young artists give great insight into their pain yet the overall message is hope. Outstanding effort by all.

Rating:
Summary: an amazing book
Review: When I first saw Childhood Revealed, I was amazed at the wonderful artwork. But, then I read some of the descriptions with the pieces, realized who had made the art, and was very moved. So many of us take our health for granted - but, even more so, I think we take the mental health of our children for granted. I feel so lucky that my own two children do not suffer like those in the book. But, sharing this book with them created an opportunity to talk about the problems that some children, even their own classmates have. I learned a lot from Dr. Koplewicz's first book, "It's Nobody's Fault." This one helps bring a unique personal insight into the lives of these very special children.
