STRATEGIES TO MANAGE LOSS AND SADNESS: An interactive, therapeutic book created by a Psychologist to help children identify overwhelming feelings of loss and sadness and to learn coping mechanisms to work through their difficult feelings in a creative and fun way. RESILIENCE BUILDING AND SOCIAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT: It’s designed to empower and build resilience in children. Leeloo asks questions directed at the reader, encouraging them to explore what they would do if they were in a similar situation. Research shows, when children are encouraged to reflect on what the character of a story is going through and to put themselves in the character’s shoes, it builds empathy and resilience. PARENT RELATIONSHIP BUILDING: It provides an opportunity for children to connect with their caregiver. By showing your child that their concerns matter to you, they will feel validated and loved. The book also includes information for caregivers to help them support and hold space for their child while they work through difficult feelings. COPING CARD INCLUDED: This encourages children to practice strategies to help them manage their difficult feelings when they feel overwhelmed. BOOK DIMENSIONS: A4 (11 inches x 8.6 inches) portrait size and has 28 pages. The pages are glossy for easy turning. The cover is soft but strong. Age range: 4 - 9 years old. Read more

Sometime's it Rains is the Author's follow up book to Stuck in the Mud.
What I liked about the second book is that Leeloo is dealing with feelings of anxiety and loss when parents separate or divorce and the child is left wondering if it had been their fault. Also self help exercises through music, nature, exercise and counselling for the children to make themselves feel better when they have been sad. Filled with so many positive thoughts and beautifully illustrated by Tom Godfrey this book is going to be a sure success for the Author Sharon Draper. Both books would do well in a school library to assist Teachers and carer's alike.

Handling of personal loss
A wonderful book which identifies the sensitive topics of loss and sadness. It gently encourages the reader to implement strategies which can help them build resilience and manage their sadness.

Just as good as the first book.
This is the follow up book to Sharon Draper's "Stuck in the Mud". Once again, beautiful illustrations and well written. The books talks about real life, every day situations that a child may face and feel upset and anxious about. It gives them the tools to deal with the scary feelings they experience when faced with these situations. This book would be especially helpful when a child is going through a big change or emotional event such as starting school, losing a pet, etc.
