Bobbie's Story: A Feelings Workbook

Rating:
Summary: Please!
Review: This book is pretty silly. Kids would be better off journaling on their own, under the guidance of a true professional trained in this area. CWLA should be ashamed that they printed this book and then sold it to an unsuspecting public. Don't bother with it, or its companion 'workbook.'

Rating:
Summary: Raises awareness of issues relating to sexual abuse
Review: This is an interactive story book, for children ages 5-10, about a child who was sexually abused. This book can be a helpful addition to counseling done with a professional (as the author recommends). Adults can choose which issues are most appropriate to focus on depending on the needs of the child who was abused. The companion book, Bobbie's Story: A guide for foster parents, provides information about sexual abuse in children, the resulting behaviors and feelings, and suggestions on how to help. These books seek to help abused children and raise the knowledge and sensitivity of their care takers. -Cynthia Miller Lovell, author of The Star: A story to help young children understand foster care, and Questions & Activities for The Star: A handbook for foster parents
