When I first experienced the power of story as 'healing' for challenging behaviour - both in my own and other people's children - it felt as though a light had illumined the dark. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages

Format:Paperback
This book is lovely - my son is 5 and has been experiencing problems relating to early traumatic experiences and subsequent behavioural difficulties. I have copied some of the stories from "Healing stories..." into a scrapbook and every night I read one to him and we talk about it and he draws a picture. I have been really inspired to write some of my own with guidance from this book, as his behaviour and his feelings have improved no end since we've been doing this together! It's a lovely book and practical and touching.
Format:Paperback
A fantastic book. Full of wonderful ideas of how to work and help children though the use of stories. Really worth reading.

Beautiful book that encourages our inner creative parent
6 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
This book lays out ways to develop yourself as a storyteller while giving background in how healing/encouraging stories are important for children's development and stages of growth. (Stories give an inner picture for the developing) My husband and I both appreciate this book and have pulled out the book for times when we are noticing a pattern in our child that is developing (eg. not sharing with others). The index for stories if very easy to use... and both our children have enjoyed the stories for over a year now... (children 4 and 7 now). In fact, we have read these stories even when we have not had "challenging behaviour"-- they are simple and enjoyable.

Thirsty for more!
10 April 2009
Format:Paperback
Since reading this book, I have gone from being a storytime reader to story teller. I have used Susan Perrow's stories with my son, family, friends, and in the classroom. Her book has been instrumental in helping me to understand the power of storytelling and the benefits. The stories are very satisfying to the listener and when the children see me again, they ask for another story. On my end, storytelling does not come naturally. The tips on successful story telling and how to create your own stories have been especially useful.

Delightful Stories
23 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback
I have had the pleasure of attending Susan's Storytelling Workshop which I really enjoyed. For almost a year now I have been reading the stories from this book to both my 6 and 3 (age appropriately) year olds. They absolutely love these stories and I am constantly asked to read "just one more please mummy". They even ask to read these stories when they wake first thing in the morning too. These stories will delight all children and are not meant only for those with challenging behaviours.
Susan's model for story writing is simple and clear. If you wish to learn to write your own stories or share some wonderful stories with your children, I highly recommend this book. Susan's stories are wholesome and so enjoyable. I am quite inspired to start illustrating these stories with my children as an artistic activity, thereby allowing the stories to live more fully within us.
Thank you Susan !!!
