This book helps children to understand their thoughts and feelings with respect to terrorism. It shows families, professionals, and others how to help children to cope with post-traumatic stress, identify warning signs, and the issues to be addressed.
The book will be particularly helpful for children ages six to twelve. These children will readily identify with the thoughts and feelings of the main character. Older children will benefit from reading the book by themselves, especially if they are not yet ready or willing to talk about their thoughts and feelings. Younger children will benefit from having the book read and explained to them.
