A Kids Book about Trauma

Help kids better understand trauma and the importance of exercise and relationships in healing from it.

This is a kids’ book about trauma. We often hear that word when we talk about going off to war, natural disasters, or abuse, but the reality is that everyone can suffer from trauma differently - it’s a natural way our bodies try to process emergencies.

This book was made to help kids aged 5-9 understand what trauma truly means, how it affects our minds and bodies, and how exercise and relationships can help us on our paths to healing. Because no matter what traumas we may have lived, we all deserve to heal.

• A friendly, approachable, empowering, and child-appropriate tone throughout.
