My dad built me the best and wackiest cubby ever
"As a parent, I wish I had this book many years agoā¦" Professor Pat McGorry AO, University of Melbourne
"Your book is beautiful. So gentle and considerate, honest and touching. Very heartfeltā¦" Joanne
"Loved it. Loved the way you handled such a delicate topic so tenderly. Wanted more autobiographical links at the end! Wanted more chapters, a sequel, a class to share it withā¦ Just loved it. You've handled it beautifullyā¦" Rebecca
Acclaimed as the children's book every adult must read, this timely and compassionate story centres on a child and father setting out to build a cubbyhouse under streaming sunshine. Until clouds snake in on a hazing horizonā¦ skies swell, a clouding storm brews and finally breaks and swirls into pouring rain. All the while, the cubby grows wackier, with the rustiest of riches that rattle and rule!
This is all a metaphor for the father's mental ill health that gently aligns with the building of the cubby and changing emotions and weather.
Mental ill health can be a challenge to understand, but Dr Schott's warm-hearted story helps give some understanding through the eyes of a child building a cubby with its father.
The chapter book is ideal for 4-13 year olds. It comes with teacher resources to support student learning, journaling prompts for students to express feelings and thoughts, and a list of resources for carers, health professionals and families to draw upon.
