1st Edition
How Monsters Wish to Feel and other picture books Seven Storybooks Set
This set of seven therapeutic storybooks contains stories that each tell of a different journey centred around a particular theme; such as emotional resilence, self-care, friendship, stress, resilient thinking and dealing with loss.
Designed for use alongside the guidebook Nurturing Emotional Resilience in Vulnerable Children and Young People (ISBN: 9781909301856), these beautifully illustrated storybooks will appeal to all children, and can be used by practitioners, educators and parents as a tool to discuss emotional resilience and other important issues with children.
How Monsters Wish to Feel is a therapeutic story about a journey to develop emotional resilience. Using the analogy of the Japanese art of Kintsugi, whereby broken pottery is restored to wholeness with a golden lacquer, the story alludes to the importance of focusing on the strengths and protective factors in a child's life, rather than the problems and risks, in order to promote emotional resilience.
The set includes:
- How Monsters Wish to Feel: A Story about Emotional Resilience (ISBN: 9781909301849)
- The Boat Star: A Story about Loss (ISBN: 9781138308824)
- The Boy who Longed to Look at the Sun: A Story about Self-Care (ISBN: 9781138308923)
- The Day the Sky Fell In: A Story about Finding your Element (ISBN: 9781138308886)
- The Girl Who Collected Her Own Echo: A Story about Friendship (ISBN: 9781138308893)
- The Hot and Bothered Air Balloon: A Story about Feeling Stressed (ISBN: 9781138309029)
- The Tale of Two Fishes: A Story about Resilient Thinking (ISBN: 9781138308848)
The storybooks can be purchased individually and also in a set alongside the guidebook (ISBN: 9781138556454).
