Demetrius the fruit bat wakes up feeling grumpy and tired after nightmares stop him from sleeping. 

One day while his family in the Bat Cloud are still sleeping, Demetrius meets another fruit bat who suggests he tries some of ‘that juice’ saying it will stop nightmares. 

Demetrius soon discovers ‘that juice’ makes him feel different and more relaxed. 

But is ‘that juice’ all it claims to be? 

How will Demetrius get more of ‘that juice’ and how long will it be until someone finds out what Demetrius is up to?

 Will someone in his family be watching out for him?

Demetrius Yarn explores the changes that can occur to mind, body and spirit when dealing with unsafe substance use.

It is a story about finding safe ways to cope with overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
