ReviewsSusan is a trailblazer for the movement for healing stories. The playfulness of this book makes it clear to you, the reader, that you can adapt Susans tales for your own situation or even create your own. I hope you enjoy this delicious story medicine!, This charming and beautifully illustrated book essentially offers something called "story medicine" as a creative strategy for parenting, teaching and even counselling. The key concept of story medicine or healing stories is that the right story, told at the right time, can unlock something within a child and eventually bring about desired (or much needed) change. One example would be of a child deliberately annoying other children and destroying the peace in the classroom for the whole group. The teacher might then read the story about Obnoxious Octopus so the whole class is presented with a template for solving the problem and behaving or responding differently. The child concerned might now receive positive attention (without having to act annoying to get it) and the other children are inspired to try different ways of behaving around this particular child. When everyone is receptive - the dynamic might just shift! The teacher in me whispers that some stories may well need to be told repeatedly - say every day for a week (or weekly for several months) - but presented in the right way, an improvement may occur given time, given patience and a positive (constructive) attitude. These stories are written for an audience aged 3 - 9 years - but of course they could be used too with another audience (say adults in a teamwork seminar) or adapted for older children. And of course we can do more than just telling: we can create our own picture books, act the stories out with puppets, dolls or teddy bears. We can use them as a starting point for writing and telling our own tales. When my own children were much younger (they are all teenagers now) I remember how I could really get their attention by inserting their names in to stories and adding extra (personal) details that were not in the original story. A portal opened where they were not only listening - they became participants. And often that would come out in their play later. While cooking their dinner I would overhear their teddy bears quoting lines from the story and running wild with the storyline (and many new storylines exploded onto the scene!) A related idea that became very popular in the primary school my own children attended was of making Story Sackis. They would contain book plus toys and props to actually act out the whole story. This is any idea that would work well with this book too. Parents or teachers might get a stuffed octopus (to stay with that example) as well as some toy fishes and involve a group of children in enacting the whole story - first what went wrong and then a much better outcome where everyone is having fun. - - literacytrust.org.uk, As a teacher and mother both I think this book is lovely and based on sound therapeutic and healing principles. The author has really done her research and found positive inspiration in situations where children struggled or something negative occurred. To look within yourself for an innovative way to proceed (as a teacher) is an attitude that can help transform real life situations.On the back cover she is quoted as saying that the stories may not be "magical pills" but they can be a wonderful alternative to nagging or lecturing. Now any parent, teacher or counselor is going to appreciate that!! - Imelda Almqvist -

SynopsisEach story in this collection begins with an undesirable or out-of-balance situation and, through the use of metaphor and an imaginative story, leads to a more desirable resolution. In this way, the stories also have the potential for nurturing positive values. The stories cover many kinds of common behaviors. Following the alphabet from A to Z, the behavior is identified within the story titles--anxious, bossy, cranky, greedy, jealous, lazy, swearing, lack of cooperation, and more. These stories can be told as-is or adapted to the situation. They can also be made into homemade picture books or puppet shows or used as inspiration to create new tales for particular behavior challenges and situations., This must-have collection of behavior tales offers "story medicine" as a creative strategy for parenting, teaching, and counselling. Telling the right story at the right time can help children face challenges and change behavior. All 42 stories begin with an undesirable or out-of-balance situation. Through metaphor and imaginative story journeys, they lead to a desirable resolution. The stories can lead to nurturing positive values in children. Following the alphabet from A to Z, each behavior is identified in the story title--angry, anxious, bullying, demanding, fussy, greedy, jealous, loud, obnoxious, quibbling, uncooperative, and so on. The stories, some humorous, some serious, are especially relevant for children of three to nine years of age, as well as the child in every adult! They are for telling and adapting--turn them into homemade picture books or puppet shows, or even create new tales based on them. Pencil-drawn illustrations by Allmut ffrench accompany each story., This illustrated collection of behaviour tales offers story medicine as a creative strategy for parenting, teaching and counselling., The stories cover many kinds of universal behaviour.
