REVIEWS
“More than any other of the members of our human family, children need to feel safe. Regardless of your politics, it is essential that we provide our children a safe space to explore their feelings around this topic. Our children need to be heard and spoken to with honesty and empathy. We need to offer coping strategies and solutions they can embrace. Fortunately, in Ms. Kislin’s comprehensive book we will find both.”
