The book club title is Something Bad Happened
A Kid's Guide to Coping with Events in the News
By Dawn Huebner
Please note, this book is suitable for young people aged 6-12 years so please only request a copy if you work with or are a parent to young people in this age group. Please also remember to review the terms and conditions before completing the opt-in form.
Aimed at ages 6-12, this book helps children think about serious world events, make sense of why they may have happened and their impact, and ask questions of the adults around them.
Dawn’s easy to follow style makes it suitable for children to read themselves. Each chapter covers different things children need to make sense of negative events and there are practical activities they can do along the way. Learning from events, even if the child has no direct experience of them, will help them apply the learning to themselves in the future. The useful and informative illustrations make it more accessible to children who may find it harder to read.
