This is a wonderful, if painful, book about the realities of depression, told through pictures and short sentences, suitable for both children and adults. It is expressing the all-but inexpressible - those moments when words are either so inadequate, or the right ones just don't seem to exist. I think this is a really important book to have been written (and drawn), especially in a time when mental health is finally being spoken about, accepted, and beginning to be un-demonised; when so many young people and children are suffering; they can pull this book out, point at a picture and say 'that is how I feel today'. I take my hat off to Debi Glori, and thank her profusely.

I love the illustrations & how few words there are. Many feel a depth of despair, or inadequacy, or loneliness, or any other negative emotion that leaves them with a loss for words, and Debi Gliori portrays this beautifully in Night Shift. The cover is gorgeous, and the dragon captivated me straight away whilst it was sitting on our prep trolley. This book is perfect for both those with depression and those without. For those like myself who do struggle with mental illness or times when they've felt down, it is relate-able and a comfort to know you're not alone. For those who haven't experienced depression, Night Shift offers an insight as to what it can be like, helping the reader to understand a bit better how it effects those who do suffer from it.
