Editorial Reviews
“By providing adults and children with such empathetic information about coping with tragedy, Dr. Roberts has crafted a valuable resource for readers looking for ways to better understand the nature of tragedy and how to support, help, and nurture those around us.”
Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD)
"An accessible, honest conversation starter that is a must-have purchase for all school and public library collections. Highly Recommended."
CM Magazine
“Purposeful but effective.”
The Horn Book Online
"This book handles a sensitive topic with kindness, compassion, and empathy…A good beginning look at how to broach a complicated topic that's filled with positivity and hope."
Booklist
"A timely introduction to, and conversation starter on, tough current events for children. Hand to counselors and caregivers."
School Library Journal
"This picture book fills a gap in how to address tragedy and disasters with young children…Terrorism and man-made disasters are addressed in a humanizing way. Emphasis is provided throughout on resilience and positivity."
School Library Connection
"Well-intentioned, ambitious and heartfelt."
Kirkus Reviews
“This is a perfect 'back pocket' book, something to have on hand for when big questions arise. The basic format works well with kindergartners and small children, while the extra information will guide upper elementary students.”
