Because we support children over spans of years in many cases, we find that Bobby's Books can be used not only for grieving but for self-esteem building, self realization and general life skill development.

The tough travels of children-journeys through death, abandonment, imprisonment, cancer and other life altering events-cry for voices of compassion and visions of hopeful intervention.  Bibliotherapy for children provides opportunity for safety amid the chaos of daily living.

Bobby's Books is an exceptional, developmentally appropriate resource to help children, from the very young to the adolescent, learn how to grow positively through grief and loss.

Bobby's Books provides an opportunity for parents and professionals to discuss major issues in the lives of children using a Bibliotherapeutic approach. This project goes the additional step of providing curriculum for each book and training in the use of books. Providing a way for parent and child to be together and heal together is a positive approach to processing grief for the family.

The 20 books specifically chosen to be the core selection of Bobby's Books are amazing.  The core selections offer a variety of themes, relationships and family dynamics to choose from in order to serve clients respectfully and within their comfort zone.  Children and their adult caretakers are able to identify needs and process feelings through the characters in the story.  Insight may increase in a nurturing atmosphere that fosters understanding, acceptance and growth.

Over the years I have come to understand that the person with the illness is not the only person trying to survive; Bobby's Books empowers everyone to know they are not alone in their fight and there is real hope in understanding that others have made it through the journey before you.
