Mummy's Monsters John Child

Mummy's Monsters uses a child's perspective on how they interpret their surroundings, to explain some of the more complex subjects that even adults find difficult to understand. 'Mummy's Monsters' focuses on the difficult subject of mental illness, specifically within a child's family. A sensitive and sometimes misunderstood affliction which often receives little empathy and real understanding to what goes on in the mind of the sufferer. 'Mummy's Monsters' follows Timmy, a little boy who finds his mummy crying for what appears to be no reason. Suffering from bi-polar disorder, she takes him on a journey though their imagination to introduce Timmy to the monsters that can either make her really happy or really sad.
