【Tear Drop Happy】

The “Tear Drop Happy” book, written and illustrated by Brian Yeh and Natsuko Kodama, was created to spread mental health awareness to audiences that aren’t typically exposed to the topic. From references to Eckhart Tolle’s Power of Now, Kristin Neff’s studies of self-compassion, to visual and lyrical cues from Kids See Ghosts, Tear Drop Happy is a simplified and informed product that contains the life experiences of both Brian and Natsuko. All they hope is that this book can expose others to some of the tools that helped them through their own mental health issues – even if just a little.
