SynopsisA Gentle Story to Help Children Talk About Difficult Feelings After a Traumatic or Confusing Event Some experiences are hard to talk about, especially for children. A Terrible Thing Happened is a comforting picture book that helps kids make sense of big emotions after something upsetting has happened. Without naming the event, the story follows Sherman, a young raccoon who begins to feel worried, angry, and confused. With patience, comfort, and support, Sherman learns that talking about his feelings can help him start to feel better. Thoughtfully written and illustrated by child development specialists, this book gives families, caregivers, and educators a reassuring way to open conversations about big emotions. It validates children's feelings, shows that all emotions are welcome, and reminds them they are safe, cared for, and never alone. This beautiful story helps children understand that healing begins when we share how we feel. Key Features Supports Emotional Processing: Helps children ages 4-8 recognize and express feelings like sadness, worry, and anger after a difficult or confusing experience. Sensitive, Universal Storytelling: The upsetting event is never described, so the book can be used in many different situations without adding distress. Guidance for Adults Included: Features a supportive note with simple, practical suggestions to help grown-ups talk about feelings in a caring and age-appropriate way. Ideal for Emotional Learning & Healing: Encourages coping skills, resilience, and emotional understanding. Perfect for home, school, or counseling settings. Trusted Publisher: From Magination Press, the children's imprint of the American Psychological Association, experts in child development and well-being., This gently told and tenderly illustrated story is for children who have witnessed any kind of violent or traumatic episode, including physical abuse, school or gang violence, accidents, homicide, suicide, and natural disasters such as floods or fire. Sherman Smith saw the most terrible thing happen. At first he tried to forget about it, but soon something inside him started to bother him. He felt nervous for no reason. Sometimes his stomach hurt. He had bad dreams. And he started to feel angry and do mean things, which got him in trouble. Then he met Ms. Maple, who helped him talk about the terrible thing that he had tried to forget. Now Sherman is feeling much better. Children who have witnessed violence or other traumatic incidents are at surprisingly greater risk for committing violence in the future than are children who have actually been involved in such events. The event might be a car accident, domestic or school violence, suicide, or a natural disaster such as a tornado, flood, or fire. Regardless of the type of incident, child witnesses often react by trying to forget or ignore the experience. When their feelings are pushed underground in this manner, these children may begin to feel bad in ways they don't understand and become angry as a result of feeling bad. It is this anger that can give way to violence. Caring adults can make all the difference by helping children talk about and understand the experience. An afterword by Sasha J. Mudlaff written for parents and other caregivers offers extensive suggestions for helping traumatized children, including a list of other sources that focus on specific events., Sherman Smith saw the most terrible thing happen.
