Synopsis

A perfect series for both adults and children recovering from trauma or for therapist to read with their patients. Roots is the wise owl that everyone turns to in the forest. He is different from all the other animals and he notices things others cannot see. We have all met individuals who seem to walk through life with ease. So what is the secret to Roots' serenity and wisdom? What does Roots see in the other animals? Can an owl and a rabbit actually be friends? Roots is Book 6 of the heart-warming and thought-provoking River Series by Sandy Stream. The series tells the story of Sparky, Sparky's Mama and her other offspring, but essentially, it tells the stories of all of us. Each book has lessons for each of us on how to have the courage to access our deepest wounds and heal them. This is a perfect series for those who want to explore their experiences using a fresh, honest, and intuitive approach.

About this title

Review

"Your books are beautiful, Sandy...they take the wisdom of the ages, the truths that help heal trauma and all wounds and communicate them to the most innocent place in our hearts. Thanks for sharing what you offer!" -- Tara Brach, Insight Meditation Community of Washington. "Therapists will love them. I can see these appealing to both children and adults. I am thinking of patients right now that could use them, see what can be difficult to transmit verbally. You have done a wonderful service to all of us who have suffered abuse in one form or another -- which is to say, all of us." --Jacqueline A. Carlton, PhD, Editor, International Body Psychotherapy Journal "The stories found in Stream's books are meant to help therapists provide relatable experiences for children to help them come to terms with their own trauma. They revolve around a baby bird, Sparky, who is snatched away from his family. In dealing with his captivity, escape, and eventual return, Sparky and his family learn to articulate the complex feelings they experience."-- Trauma Report, York University "Excellent work, Sandy. You capture the somatic and psychological elements of trauma and recovery." --Alison Dyck M.A., R.M.F.T. Caringhope Counseling Services
