Therapeutic Storytelling: 101 Healing Stories for Children (Hawthorn Press Storytelling)

The stories in this book are so beautiful and teach values in such a moving way. It is extremely hard to capture the interest of my 4th grade special education students. These stories captivated them 50% or more of the time. That is an excellent track record. Susan has lived in South Africa, East Africa, and Australia and she weaves different traditions to create stories which help children accept other children with difficulties, turn around difficult behaviors, and rise to the challenge of difficult situations. There is a whole section on how to compose a story to provide a healing framework.

I am continually referring to this book and it’s companion, Healing Stories for Challenging Behavior, for my classroom storytelling. Therapeutic Storytelling offers excellent and encouraging guidance for story writing.

Must have for parents- I’m not kidding- she is one of the best storytellers to have ever lived- you will cherish this collection.

I love this book. I use it with both my Client's ages 5-17.

This book is a wonderful follow up to Susan's first book "Healing Stories for Challenging Behavior." In this new book there is an extensive list of challenging situations a child might face and many stories to help children through these experiences.

Fabulous book full of stories to help children as they make their way in the world.Until you try these stories, you will never know how powerful they are.
