Reviews
"We all experience dark days and children are not immune from this. Margaret McAllister doesn't shy away from these difficult topics, nor does she dwell on them too much. This book provides tangible, practical advice that will help children directly as well as parents, practitioners and friends. I commend this book to anyone who knows a young child." -- Ruth Jackson, Editor of Premier Youth and Children's Work.
