No-No the Little Seal

I can't count the number of times this book saved mys a** from being savagely f***** by numerous sickos. Thank you, No-No!

I work for an agency that works with abused and neglected children, many of which have been sexually abused. This is a wonderful book to help children identify their feelings and understand that they are not alone. Many of the children at the agency love the book and No No the seal.

This book is very appropriate for all types of children. I have used it in the past with children who have been abused or neglected, and it helped them to know that others had also been through the same thing. It also allowed them to feel comfortable discussing the subject, and thus opened up the floor for some very productive conversations. A must have for anyone who works with these types of children.

I read this book in the doctor's waiting room and was impressed by the content. I wasn't aware that books like this were available; in my opinion, it was well-written for a child's perspective. When things go wrong and an adult is involved, many times the child will automatically think somehow it's "their" fault - whether it's a case of molestation or their parents getting a divorce. This book emphasizes to children that being violated against their will is NEVER their fault, and also that it's okay to tell someone about what happened, that keeping it a secret is wrong, no matter what they may have been told. Although this book is now out-of-print, I want to find one to read to my grandchildren or to share with other parents.
