Riassunto

Baby Bear lives in a home with the Big Bears, and loves to chase butterflies and make mud pies - they make Baby Bear's tummy fill with sunshine. Then, one night, Baby Bear hears a big storm downstairs in the house and in the morning, Baby Bear's tummy starts to feel grey and rainy. How will such a small bear cope with these big new feelings?

This sensitive, charming storybook is written to help children who have lived with violence at home to begin to explore and name their feelings. Accompanied by notes for adults on how to use each page of the story to start conversations, it also features fun games and activities to help to understand and express difficult emotions. It will be a useful book for social workers, counsellors, domestic violence workers and all grown-ups working with children.

Recensione:

This picture book for younger children is not about physical child abuse... it is about a little bear whose parents are in a violent relationship and how this affects him... There is much about faces and how people's feelings are reflected in their expressions, and there is also a good section for parents and carers who are working with children experiencing violence on how to use the book. --Healthy Books blog

I love how this book tells the story of Baby Bear who is struggling with a mixture of feelings relating to domestic violence at home, and am confident that it will assist so many parents, children and child care practitioners post-domestic violence. It is an excellent resource, and very much needed. --Pat Craven, Creator of the Freedom Programme and Author of Living with the Dominator and Freedom's Flowers, a book about the effects of domestic abuse on children

This is an excellent book. It is both engaging and easy to understand, and the illustrations bring the story to life, reinforcing its messages. Children who have experienced domestic violence and trauma often find it difficult to express their feelings and talk about what has happened, which leaves them confused and upset. This book will help such children open up and feel less vulnerable, and I have no doubt that this will be an excellent resource for working with them. --Tina Royles MA, Psychotherapist, Domestic Violence Expert and Relationship Specialist, www.tinaroyles.com, UK
