Personal impression

• I thought this would be a great resource to use
  for children dealing with difficult adult type
  issues in their life. For example death of a
  family member. Each page indexes a story has a
  brief summery of the story, a getting connected
  section, which helps the adult to understand how
  the child might be feeling and lists several
  discussion questions for after the story has been
  read
