Mabel and the Fire Alison Hinson

Your child will join Mabel and her boy as they journey through their thoughts, feelings, and experiences when a fire claims their home. This story is written to help build connections, increase sense of security, and promote safe discussion to support young children through traumatic experiences with natural disasters. Young children often struggle with how to express their experiences of traumatic events, and it can be a challenge to know how best to support them through the healing process. Written by a child and family therapist with extensive background in trauma work, this book can be used to support parents, social services workers, natural disaster relief groups, and therapists in helping children share and express their own thoughts and feelings of experiencing loss and displacement due to fire.
