| Publisher Description: A confusing view of the world awaits a young bear and his sister when their parents take them along a journey of which they had never heard before, yet they are not alone. Soon they realize that their peers are confused as they are and that they can rely on others for support and guidance. Bubba, the young bear, is the protagonist of the story which unfolds in the forest. With the assistance of their peers and teacher, Bubba and his sister are able to understand the changes in the family and develop skills to cope with them. They also become more open to seeking appropriate support as they grow in their experiences. Inspirational for the parents and change-facilitating for the children, Bubba's Confusing World: A Child's Introduction to Divorce, addresses children's concerns about their parents' marriage in a safe and entertaining manner. This read out loud book is the second of Healing Hearts of Nature: A series of therapeutic books for children. The series provides the opportunity for parents, teachers, and childcare workers to discuss in a non-threatening and interactive manner experiences such as: * bullying *low self-esteem *rebelliousness *anger *sadness *single parenting *grieving *interpersonal and familial problems *physical safety The books may also include discussion questions and "write-your-own-stories" templates. While the first therapeutic book for children published in 2009, Healing Hearts of Nature: Five Therapeutic Fables for Children, addresses intra-individual dynamics, such as low self-esteem, rebelliousness, and depression, the present book addresses family and peer-group dynamics. Used together, the books encompass interventions at individual, social, and cultural levels. In summary, this series is a head start for prevention and management of some of the most common struggles children experience. |
