The Magic Rainbow Hug: a Fun Interactive Storyteller - Child Activity Janet A. Courtney Phd 1st edition

The Magic Rainbow Hug is a heartfelt story designed to help children overcome fear and anxiety. The story is about Sophie and Jesse, two young, curious siblings who, along with their lovable puppy, discover the joyful magic of a Rainbow Hug. Its interactive adult-child element offers an optional technique that allows the uplifting story to be told by drawing it on a child?s back, which engages children at multiple sensory levels including imagination, auditory, touch, smell, sound and relaxation. It is an innovative form of storytelling that will inspire, entertain and enlighten children of all ages. Positive suggestions are interspersed throughout the book to help children learn methods of relaxation and how to draw upon their inner strengths and abilities. The vibrant illustrations were drawn by two talented siblings, Grace, age 8, and Benjamin, age 10, who were inspired by hearing the creative story, and also by feeling it sketched on thier backs.
