The pictures and rich descriptive text convey the real life experience of so many children ... Children will feel relieved and understood as they recognize themselves and their peers in the characters.
A brilliant addition to the field of mental health for the treatment of trauma in children ... accessible, educational and fun for clients, parents and therapists alike. Bravo!
Delightful ... The Guide for Grown Ups at the end of the book offers child-friendly ways to extend the value of the story into everyday life, and bolsters parent understanding.
Practical and accessible ... This important and timely series is a must read for anyone who has a need for trauma literacy.
So indicative of how a foster child feels ... This book should be required reading for all adults in the agencies that help with removal, placement, reunification and adoption ... What a great resource, thank you!
Sometimes emotions can be more than a child can handle. These authors have seamlessly woven into the story crucial aspects of working with distressed children that balance the upset, making situations tolerable.
