Reception
Donna Seaman wrote that "Swados' candid, seemingly simple tale conveys a wealth of helpful information and dispels the gloom a bit by making readers laugh." Christian Perring wrote that Swados "does give a clear sense of how disabling and awful it is to have depression", but called her drawings "very crude" and "amateurish".
