“Monday with Miss Kitty” is a picture book that follows a typical day in the life of a cat, beginning with an early morning meow, continuing through midday playtime, and ending with an evening stroll outside. The story takes on a humorous note due to the discrepancy between words and pictures.
However, “Monday with Miss Kitty” is more than a picture book about the day of a mischievous cat. Because Miss Kitty’s behavior is an accurate illustration of a person with a borderline personality disorder, this book can be a useful tool for professionals, parents, and relatives to gently and understandingly explain the disorder to young children.
The inspiration for “Monday with Miss Kitty” comes from my own childhood, where mental health issues were present but not properly discussed in my family and especially with us - the children. I had a difficult time comprehending and accepting them for a very long time. I believe it’s critical to have discussions regarding mental health with our children, even when they are young, in order for all of us to grow and live in a healthy environment.
The difference between “Monday with Miss Kitty” and my other books is that I did a lot of research on borderline personality disorder before even starting to write the text. I later used the assistance of a cognitive-behavioral therapist, who helped me match the behavior of the main character as closely as possible to that of a person with borderline personality disorder. The collaboration with the specialist reflected not only how I worked on the text but also on the illustrations.
