'This book is for any adult seeking some kind of template for communicating with a child who, through no fault of their own, is having to cope with a number of obstacles... Problems can be overcome Mine's book tells us: with kindness, listening and talisman-like Keepers that remind us to be kind, talk to each other and to have empathy.' Sir Lenny Henry, CBE 'A much-needed resource to support parents, caregivers and other adults around a child experiencing adversity. Often, adults have a fear of speaking to a child about their experiences, not knowing what to say or how to be or whether they might make the situation worse. The storybook and its Guide scaffold and hold the adult safely, helping a child to reflect on their own thoughts and feelings whilst in the safety of story. Exploring the emotions and feelings of Maya, with a trusted adult will undoubtedly help the child to make sense of their own experiences. What is shareable is bearable!' Julie Harmieson, Trauma-Informed Schools UK (TISUK) Director of Education and National Strategy
