American Authors Association Review -
This is a much needed book for children who have been sexually abused. With delightful illustrations and a simply guided tour, this can be used by an older child by himself or under the guidance of a family members or adult friend. (There are instructions for an adult who uses the book to help a child.)
The author has set up a six-stage program which she identifies this way:
Recognition, Entry, Process, Awareness, Insights and Rhythm. There are work sheets for the child to use in learning about their feelings, building self-esteem and optimism, learning the difference between healthy and unhealthy messages, learning skills to soothe the inner-child, how to reveal inner feelings through drawing, breaking free from false shame, cultivating self-care skills and practices, learning about boundaries and bodies, and how to return to the natural rhythm and flow of life.
The author has used simple terms and created easy tools to help any child work through the devastation of sexual abuse.
Highly recommended.

Loved the book, both the graphics and the drawings are very subtle and meaningful.
This is a teaching book aimed at young kids, it allows us to take our children on a special journey of repair when they have been subjected to abuse, in which ever form it takes.
it is instrumental by using techniques, awareness, insight and a blue print to becoming who you really are and how to recognize problems stemming from childhood abuse.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND A MUST READ
