This sensitively written and beautifully illustrated storybook and guide provides children (aged 7+) and the adults who support them with the resources to understand Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and demonstrate how speaking with children can foster healing and recovery from trauma.
Maya is a young girl who lives with her mum, her mum´s boyfriend and her pet hamster, Harry. She loves learning about space, playing football and drawing, but often feels very anxious at home and school due to the ACEs she has been exposed to. In the story, Maya is able to overcome her ACEs with the help of a variety of protective factors in her life and with three fantastical adventures she embarks upon with Harry, that give her additional tools and keepers to use in her everyday life.
The set provides children with the opportunity to comprehend and safely express their feelings, and the adults who read alongside them with the guidance to become a sensitive, active listener, able to support the child´s efforts to disclose and manage their fears. The accompanying adult guide contains discussion prompts and practical communication strategies, as well as an examination and critique of the ACEs framework and an exploration of the developing brain.
This set is a vital tool for teachers, parents, foster carers, social workers and other professionals who are supporting children affected by ACEs and trauma. Used with a trusted adult, this set enables children to talk about their experiences and express themselves safely and confidently.
- The therapeutic story comes with a guide which is vital if the issues are to be discussed sensitively without re-traumatising the child/ren.
- The story can be read with individual children who have been exposed to ACEs, in small groups, or whole classes, and it can help to enable dialogue around the sensitive issues presented.
- Many of the books written for children about ACEs and trauma are focused on animal characters which can make it difficult to relate to for a child this book includes human characters to make it all the more relatable.
- The concept of the "keepers is unique to this book and is a helpful, age-appropriate way to help children to not only recall the ACEs in their lives but critically, to remember these as hopeful times too.
- Each time the main character encounters an ACE and is supported, she develops an ever-growing glow. By the end of the story she emanates a glow from within and this represents her inner resilience.
- The book is based on the author´s own ACEs and has authenticity like the main character, she was supported by people in her life and now provides a positive role model for children who have been exposed to ACEs globally.
