Opis

Cedric the Giraffe: Helping Children Explore Their Emotions is just the book kids need to express their feelings after a loss or a significant event has touched their lives. Cedric the Giraffe lives in the African savannah, and is trying to learn to deal with his emotions. Although Cedric is big and strong, he is very sad because he has lost his father. He must learn to deal with his anger and insecurity. Author Sharon A Latibeaudiere says, "The book reflects my personal story of the loss of my father, through separation, as a young child. As a play therapist, I often work with children who struggle making sense of such issues, and this was originally written to help them." Her next book in the series is about Rory the lion cub, whose father returns after a long absence. Sharon A Latibeaudiere grew up in London and now lives in Croydon, United Kingdom. A counsellor and trainee play therapist, she writes to help others explore and understand some of life's more difficult emotions. The idea for the book came to her because, "My father and mother separated when I was nine and it felt like a bereavement that no one talked about."
