Lucy and Dan's parents are splitting up. Lucy blames herself and Dan bottles up his feelings... until a chance encounter with Geraldine–a wise old cow, helps them to understand what is really happening at home.
A chatty crow, a feisty field mouse and a hungry hawk all combine to make this exciting story helpful and reassuring to children whose parents are separating.
As a parent, I know how difficult it can be to find the best way to help your child with difficult and potentially traumatic experiences. This awareness of the issues children can face and the struggle parents have in finding ways to help their child motivated me to develop the 'Coping with Growing' series.
My experience with children has repeatedly shown me how useful stories are in helping children come to terms with 'life events' they've encountered. To create this series of modern fairy tales, I have combined characters children can relate to, exciting plots, humour and magic-blended with professional therapeutic input.
The beauty of stories is that they are versatile, lending themselves to modern-day life. And of course, the more a child listens to the story, the greater the benefit may be.
From the Coping with Growing series-modern fairy tales for life's big moments.
