"A Terrible Thing Happened"

I wanted to share this book that I have used and know many other counselors have used with children who have experienced some sort of crisis or trauma.  It's called "A Terrible Thing Happened." The great thing about this book is that any child can relate to it, no matter what they experienced, because it never directly states what the "terrible thing" is, so instead children can identify with it with their particular circumstances.  When you read this book with children, they'll usually say things like "that's me!" or "I felt that way" or something along those lines.  I highly recommend it for parents, clinicians, and anyone working with children.
