I really loved and connected with this beautiful graphic novel exploring depression. Mona is a girl who artistically separates her depression from herself and names it Matter in order to explore how it impacts her life. I think that many readers will connect with this story and take some of the healthy coping mechanisms portrayed from this into their own life, and if they have never struggled with depression, they will have a lot more understanding for those who do.
