“A wonderful and wise book for parents and therapists to read to children about their experience of growing up.”
What People Are Saying
This is a wonderful and wise book for parents and therapists to read to children about their experience of growing up. It depicts, through the metaphor of the water cycle, how life is a natural learning and developing experience with great beauty and meaning for those who are trusting of it. The beautiful illustrations fit the story perfectly. The pauses for reflection give gentle opportunity for self-reflection and creative problem solving. It is well worth having in any family. It will be a very helpful psychotherapy tool to reduce the anxiety that children naturally experience about growing up. And it also gives the opportunity to help traumatized children see that there will be more turns at transformation that will come their way to give them opportunity to grow up well after all.
