My Hopes for a Beautiful Day, (Paperback)

My Hopes for a Beautiful Day is a heartfelt memoir by Raphael C. Roussilhes, blending vivid childhood stories, personal reflections, and whimsical illustrations into a tapestry of hope, mental health awareness, and cultural discovery. From growing up in Perth, Pakistan, and Cameroon, to navigating the challenges of bipolar disorder, Raphael invites readers into his world of family, travel, art, and wonder. Told with humour and honesty, this book is part personal history, part tribute to resilience, and part celebration of life's quiet joys-like drawing tornadoes, sharing meals, and chasing dreams under beautiful skies.
