Subtle yet effective

This books is great for young children who may or may not have experienced physical or sexual abuse. This book provides a sense of security to facilitate more discussion with a caring adult. Kids feel safe with this book and the book gets kids thinking of their own good ideas for coping with situations. The pictures may be a little bland, but many kids enjoy brightening pages up on their own!
