A very wise and concise book about attachment and the patience necessary in aiding children who have suffered trauma. Highly recommend.

Although this is a children's book, I had to read it. I wanted to see how the authors had portrayed trust issues and separation anxiety from a child's point of view.

From the start of this book it is evident that Katie has trust issues from past life events and tries to cover it up by smiling all the time. After a while it is obvious that smiling won't fix the problem and something needs to be done.

I feel as though if a child aged 10 read this and really thought about it, they would be able to get some very important messages from the story.

I loved the concept even though it was heartbreaking and really appreciated that the problem wasn't explicitly mentioned.

This is an emotional read - poor wee Katie. Again I have seen this type of behaviour in children over the years and understanding it as an adult doesn't help the child in conflict with their understanding. This book will definitely help normalise the feeling for children who feel this way.

I worked in a bookstore many years ago and our shelf for emotions in the children's area was too sparse and this is just the type of book that we need more of for children today. It is such a wonderful tool to reach children in their trauma and situation with a book that is for them and this one delivers and fills a need. Very good !
