I am a social worker and find that a lot of my work involves talking to families who have had 'Terrible Things' happen to them. When children are very young, they very often can not express how they feel and this is where this beautifully illustrated book can help.
Sherman, a little badger sees 'something' which scares and upsets him and he does not know how to cope.
Eventually, Sherman becomes angry as he tries to drown out the 'Terrible Thing' that he saw.
When Sherman meets the kindly Ms. Maple, Sherman learns by drawing,playing games and talking about the 'Terrible Thing' he saw, he becomes happy again.
This is a fantastic resource which is aimed at children ,who have witnessed 'terrible things' and helps them understand that by opening up and talking to a responsible person and learn they are not to blame can help the child to build steps towards their recovery, building self-esteem and feelings of security once again.

This book does seem to provide some comfort to children who seem miserable and worried. It is subtle, but it directs children to possible sources of contact without giving children unnecessary or disturbing information. It is aimed at the 4-7 year age group but I've observed 10-11 year olds choosing this book for private reading.

This is an excellent book for helping children to understand the physiological symptoms they may be experiencing after trauma. The way that the story is left open ended is useful too because it can fit any child's experience.
