Dopa Gets Distracted by Cathy Staton

Description

Something strange is sweeping through Nuropolis.

The Nurons are getting overwhelmed, distracted, delayed—and buried under harsh labels like lazy, careless, broken, and not good enough.

Nori, the Norepinephrine Nuron, begins to notice that something isn’t right. Meanwhile, deep in the Dopa Mines, energetic Dopa is chasing discoveries, treasures, and one exciting idea after another. Neither realizes that the ANTs—Automatic Negative Thoughts—are quietly spreading their labels throughout the city.

Soon, everyday struggles begin turning into something much more dangerous: identities.

With help from Sero, Gaba, and the other Nurons, the truth begins to emerge. A difficult moment does not define who you are. A mistake is not an identity. And every thought does not deserve to be believed.

Dopa Gets Distracted: Invisible Storm is a colorful graphic novel adventure that explores distraction, overwhelm, negative self-talk, and the power of questioning the labels we place on ourselves and others.

The book also includes character pages and interactive activities that help readers explore helpful thoughts, breathing, support systems, time awareness, and healthier ways of describing themselves.

The Invisible Storm has been discovered—but Dopa and Nori are still caught in the Drift of Distraction.

Their story is only beginning.
