Reviews for Healing Stories
An excellent resource.
Keith Averell, Teacher, Vintage Hills Elementary School, Pleasanton, CA A wonderful help for parents whose children are facing a transition or life problem, and a great resource for professionals, pediatricians, and teachers. I've frequently recommended it to parents and professionals alike.
Mary Krentz, Ph.D., Psychologist in private practice, Oakland, CA, and Associate Professor, Wright Institute, Berkeley, CA Healing Stories is a unique resource for guidance in sorting through the wealth of children's picture books addressing psychosocial issues. Golding is especially sensitive to questions of inclusiveness, cultural context, and age appropriateness. This is an important book for parents.
Alvin F. Poussaint M.D., Harvard Medical School A practical sourcebook of stories to help children (ages 1 to 12) cope with the difficult challenges of life. Highly recommended!!
Charles E. Schaefer, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Author of How To Help Children With Common Problems; Editor of William Sears M.D., Author of The Successful Child Research consistently affirms the importance of parental reading to young children as a bond of warmth as well as a stimulus for cognitive, emotional, and social development. Dr. Golding has provided an invaluable tool for parents and other caregivers by identifying and organizing lists of illustrated books for helping children experience basic securities, develop a sense of personal worth, and explore their imaginative potential. The books, arranged for different age levels, also cover a range of problematic aspects in the child's life from daily stresses, fears, or worries to responses to traumatic events. The brief but insightful explanations provided in each area may really aid many adults in helping the children in their care confront the difficulties and also the joys of growing up. In a time of national concern about school readiness and literacy this is a great way to introduce children to the pleasures and values of reading.
Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Child Study, Yale University, and Author of Make-Believe: Games and Activities for Imagi, Jerome L. Singer, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Child Study, Yale University, and Author of Make-Believe: Games and Activities for Imaginative Play;… An incredibly great resource.

Within each category are dozens of marvelous books, intelligently summarized ... this is an exceptional look at two generations of books that can both entertain our children and soothe them in time of need.
