Synopsis:
Many children who have experienced loss or instability struggle to put their feelings into words. This gentle story was written to help fostered, adopted, and traumatized children feel seen, safe, and understood- without ever feeling like therapy.
Jumper is a little colt's inspiring journey after being separated from his birth mother who becomes addicted to a toxic plant. From fear and loss to healing and hope, this book tenderly portrays the complexities of addiction, abandonment, trauma and healing.
The author weaves a beautiful metaphor to help build bridges and teach difficult topics without judgement or blame, offering a compassionate view of addiction and loss. It can grow with children through different stages of life, as they take in layers of wisdom at their own pace. Reading Jumper is a great springboard for discussions on difficult topics with children and teenagers alike.
Perfect for children with:
- RAD Reactive Attachment Disorder
- ODD Oppositional Defiance Disorder,
- SAD Separation Anxiety Disorder.
- Foster parents, counselors, and therapists
- Therapy, classrooms, and home reading
- Children of all ages
While invaluable for those involved with foster care or adoption, Jumper is a powerful tool for teaching EMPATHY and a great addition to any family library. JUMPER IS FOR EVERYONE. Thoughtfully written with deep sensitivity, Jumper shows an example of unconditional love and its power to heal, while validating the anger, pain and confusion that can be brought on by trauma. Young and old will be captivated by this moving story. Whether you are a horse lover or not, you will be by the end of this book!
The author lives on a horse ranch and has experience fostering and adopting children, holds a degree in Special Education & a current teaching license, along with many years' helping children from various backgrounds.
