Little Charley's Big Secrets: A Family Journey - Parents and Professionals Training Guide Edition is a ground-breaking hybrid, consisting of two complementary components - poignant and powerful story-song book and evocative and exercise-driven educational manual: 1) The Story-Song Book is deeply moving, perceptive, and beautifully illustrated, for children and youth, 10 and above. The story captures two middle school-aged Charley's - one a boy, the other a girl - and their personal and family trials and transformations, including include peer bullying, sadness and isolation, and difficulty concentrating at school, along with family tensions and secrecy. However, the narrative inspires healing and hope when a sensitive and caring teacher discovers the pain in the children's art, consoles the Charleys, then reaches out to the families. And 2) A Parents and Professionals Training Guide, projecting both "Emotional Intelligence" substance and Psychohumorist ¿ style. The Guide employs, head-and-heart-provoking and resilience-building, a) Journaling Questions, b) Trauma and Stress Assessment tools, and c) Natural SPEED Prose & Poem. In tandem, the narrative and Guide will spur individual reflection, courageous family conversation as well as compassionate and insightful group discussion whether led by a teacher, librarian, school counselor, or religious leader. As a ninth grader said, "This was my story; reading this book, I would know I'm not alone.".
