"Love, Hugs, and
Hope: When Scary Things Happen" is a special understanding kind of book
that aims to help children find safe ways to express their feelings when bad
things happen. Inspired by the tragedy of Sandy Hook, December 14, 2012,
"Love, Hugs and Hope" uses beautiful colored graphic designs,
optimistic pictures, and clearly written messages to give children permission
to have their feelings, express them, and work through to find and build a
sense of security once more.
"Love, Hugs, and Hope" is all about
validation of feelings, especially scary feelings. A beautiful two part message
is embedded at the core of this lovely book, with perfectly balanced text and
illustration. It proclaims: "Love chases away hate (on a valentine held by
a penguin) and light chases away the dark (with a lit candle held by a duck in
the darkness with stars)."
Further pages tell children to cuddle up close
with the adults who love them and hug them to help chase away the fear and
sadness. "Love, Hugs, and Hope" is a beautiful and useful memorial to
a tragic event, conveying a healing message of caring and hope.
"Love,
Hugs, and Hope" is available in jacketed hardcover, Kindle, Nook, iPad,
and ePub.
You can preorder now. The book will be in stores September 1, 2013.
