Summary:
"When children learn about something bad that has happened - even when they hear only bits and pieces of it - their brains get busy trying to make sense of it. 'Something Bad Happened' guides children ages 6 to 12 and the adults who care about them through tough conversations about news of large-scale disasters, addressing questions such as: 'Where did it happen?' 'Why did it happen?' And, 'Will it happen again?' Feelings such as sadness, fear and confusion are normalized, and coping tools provided."-- provided by publisher.
