"In this autobiographical collection of thoughtful and poignant comic vignettes, Chisholm explores her experiences with depression, anxiety, and love ." —Booklist
Just Peachy is a comic series that explores what the day-to-day is like with depression and/or anxiety. The all-too-real cartoon protagonist gives readers a character to empathize with, and helps explain some of the not often talked about consequences and symptoms of having depression. The comics also explore the themes of heartbreak, finding love, dealing with stress, and capturing the magical moments in life that keep us going.
Through dark humor and cute illustrations, the subject matter becomes a bit more bearable, allowing for honest discussion about things like treatment and getting through anxiety attacks, and providing some comfort in times of struggle.
For anyone affected by mental illness, Just Peachy shows that you are not alone. Simply put, this is an encouraging collection of comics about being just okay sometimes.
"So brave of Holly Chisholm to share her struggles with mental health issues through this creative medium. Just Peachy will inspire others to connect to, navigate through, and recover from their own day-to-day trials and tribulations of living with a mental illness. Well done!" —Dr. Carlin Barnes and Dr. Marketa Wills, authors of Understanding Mental Illness and founders of Healthy Mind MDs

      Grades 9-12 In this autobiographical collection of thoughtful and poignant comic vignettes, Chisholm explores her experiences with depression, anxiety, and love. Broken into four individual sections examining different aspects of her diagnoses and experiences, Chisholm's comics take readers on a journey, from dealing with depression and panic attacks to finding help, receiving a diagnosis, and more. Each chapter contains related stories pertaining to that part of her mental health and includes insight into her own experiences that will definitely resonate with others dealing with similar issues. While Chisholm's bubbly pastel artwork is in sharp contrast to the seriousness of her experiences, it's perfectly in keeping with the lighthearted tone of her comics and adds appeal for teen readers. Some stories are full-page, others consist of four panels or a mixture of varying styles of design, which nicely breaks up the reading experience. This graphic novel provides comfort and information to those dealing with similar challenges and those who know someone who is.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
