Description

Talk openly about mental health with thirty-three diverse and empowering actors, athletes, writers, and artists in this Washington Post Best Children s Book. Contributors include: Kristin Bell, Nancy Kerrigan, S. Jae-Jones, Meredith Russo, V.E. Schwab, and Adam Silvera, among many others. Who s Crazy? What does it mean to be crazy? Is using the word crazy offensive? What happens when a label like that gets attached to your everyday experiences? To understand mental health, we need to talk openly about it. Because there s no single definition of crazy, there s no single experience that embodies it, and the word itself means different things–wild? extreme? disturbed? passionate?–to different people. In (Don t) Call Me Crazy, thirty-three actors, athletes, writers, and artists offer essays, lists, comics, and illustrations that explore a wide range of topics, including: Their personal experiences with mental illness; How we do and don t talk about mental health; Help for better understanding how every person s brain is wired differently; What, exactly, might make someone crazy. If you ve ever struggled with your mental health, or know someone who has, come on in, turn the pages . . . and let s get talking. This award-winning anthology is from the highly-praised editor of Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World and Body Talk: 37 Voices Explore Our Radical Anatomy.
