Robertson looks as if he has it all together—a loving family, a successful career as an author, and a platform to promote Indigenous perspectives, cultures and concerns. But what we see on the outside rarely reveals what is happening inside. Robertson lives with “little monsters”: chronic, debilitating health anxiety and panic attacks accompanied, at times, by depression. During the worst periods, he finds getting out of bed to walk down the hall an insurmountable task. During the better times, he wrestles with the compulsion to scan his body for that sure sign of a dire health crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eAll the\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eLittle Monsters\u003c\/em\u003e, Robertson reveals what it’s like to live inside his mind and his body and describes the toll his mental health challenges have taken on him and his family, and how he has learned to put one foot in front of the other as well as to get back up when he stumbles. He also writes about the tools that have helped him carry on, including community, therapy, medication and the simple question he asks himself on repeat: \u003cem\u003ewhat if everything will be okay?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn candidly sharing his personal story and showing that he can be well even if he can’t be “cured,” Robertson hopes to help others on their own mental health journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Canadians know the creativity and brilliance of David Robertson’s writing – but with \u003cem\u003eAll the Little\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eMonsters\u003c\/em\u003e they will learn about the bravery and burden to carry talent and anxiety at the same time.
