It’s a comfort to know that other children have had the feelings you’re having, and that there are ways to solve the problem or to get through the situation. As a child, it’s a comfort to know that other kids have gone through what you’re going through - whether it’s something as ordinary as starting school for the first time, or something as traumatic as a natural disaster. Why a story? A healing story is a comforting experience. It may have occurred to you that sharing a story could help the child in your life manage the situation that she or he is going through. Or maybe you just know a child who is fearful at bedtime, or is a fussy eater, or has a bad day occasionally. Maybe something difficult and painful has happened, such as a divorce, a serious illness, or a death. Have you ever wished that you could find just the right book for a child? Maybe a child in your life is anticipating a big change, such as having a new brother or sister, starting school for the first time, or moving to a new house. Here you'll find information about Healing Stories, along with unique resources to support you in using picture books to help children through the challenges they face, from the everyday to major trauma. Welcome to the online home of Healing Stories: Picture Books for the Big and Small Changes in a Child's Life.
