Description: Approximately 1.6 million adults in the U.S. live with bipolar disorder and a third of those suffer from substance abuse addictions and these diseases display similar symptoms and consequences. My daughter is among this number and as a result became incapable of providing a stable environment to care for my granddaughter. I decided to create a way to explain and educate Nirvana Skye that her mom's behaviors are "big people" problems and more importantly to remind her that in no way are these circumstances her fault. Notably, the colors of the hats and dresses are matching to signify how this illness, specifically the mood changes, impacts the child.
