Child Abuse - Children's Literature

Child victims of neglect and abuse are especially susceptible to confusion and self-blame; this book offers a clear, strong message about where the responsibility rightly resides, and reassures readers that they are not at fault. Useful chapters on “Seeking Help” and “Coping Toolbox” highlight strategies for reporting problems and staying safe.
