Awesome help!

We live near the mall in Oregon where there were shootings this year right before Sandy Hook. We tried to limit my children's exposure, but they "learned" a lot about both from the playground. This did an excellent job helping both of them process those events! Thank you!!!!!
Beautiful book

What a needed resource! I wish I'd had a book like this for my kids when they were little. It's never easy to help kids deal with tough problems, but this book makes it a little easier. I love knowing that it's written by a licensed therapist as well, so you can trust that the help given here is solid. It's simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. The illustrations are just right.
Simple, straightforward, powerful

Often we give kids too much credit. They grow up fast and are exposed to much more at an earlier age than the previous generation. Love, Hugs, Hope is a straight forward manual in a clever illustrated form to help kids process difficult life events.
