A Talk with Zion (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798892212878)

This children's book was created to provide awareness on depression. This book explores depression with a young African American boy named Zion who is meeting with a therapist for the first time. Walk through the stages of depression with Zion and see how he was able to overcome and learn the coping skills needed.

A Talk with Zion was written on Thanksgiving break. I was on Southwest Airlines, flying from Austin, Texas, to Florida. We all have racing thoughts when we travel, and I decided to pull out my notes on my phone. And that was the start of A Talk With Zion.

The name Zion comes from the word depression. Depression may be Zion's diagnosis, but depression does not define who he is. Depression can affect your daily life, but with the right treatment plan you can overcome it.

I hope you enjoy this book and share it with your family and friends. Keep a copy in your classroom, break room, therapy room, children's room, living room, and any room near you.
