Join author-illustrator Cara Bean in Here I Am, I Am Me, as she takes readers on an illustrated journey to the center of the brain. Each of the 9 chapters in this therapist-recommended book explores a different aspect of mental health, from the brain and the mind, to feelings and emotions. By portraying complex neuroscience concepts with a cast of illustrated characters (that represent parts of the brain), the book explains what is really going on in the readerâs head in an accessible, approachable way that ultimately serves to empower the reader.
Each chapter includes a âquestion mapâ that gives context to and helps frame the pages that follow as well as a âBean Memory,â which shares a first-person true story that illustrates the chapterâs subject matter as it has played out in the authorâs life.
The book doesnât talk down to its readers, and it doesnât pretend that teens are immune to mental health struggles: Cara Bean masterfully discusses crucial topics like depression, substance use and addiction, and suicide, all while equipping readers with mindfulness tips, specific resources, and empathetic affirmations. Readers will learn to destigmatize the conversation around mental health by reframing their thinking, learning how to use conscious language, and helping themselves and others through mental health dilemmas.
