About this listen
The Magic Home is a story for those who believe in magic to turn fear into bravery and let fantasies run wild!
This is a tale of a little boy that lives with his family, plays happily in the courtyard with his brother, sister, a brown dog, and a fluffy white rabbit, and cannot wait to start school. Suddenly he has to leave for an unpredictable journey....
The Magic Home offers psycho-educational support for children, parents, and childhood professionals who are assisting children through the difficult transition of displacement. The author presents a guide for caregivers grounded in the principles of Play Therapy that allows children to be engaged in a dynamic and engaging process based on their capacities and the objectives defined by a caring adult. The book is ideal for easy listening with individuals and groups, and the suggested activities can be used between parent and child, at school, in a healthcare agency, or any other place where children spend time.
"The Magic Home is an endearing and enduring story of a child's journey to deal with unimaginable feelings of sadness, loss and displacement. This touching story teaches us how to tap into the child's resilience using the healing power of play and expressive arts. The Magic Home is a must-have book for child clinicians, caregivers and child professionals to use with children displaced from their homes, regardless of the situation." (Athena A. Drewes, PsyD, MA, RPT-S, founder of the New York Association for Play Therapy)
"The Magic Home is a comforting story about a little boy who loses all that is familiar and faces many uncertainties in his new life until he meets Ina, who helps him feel that he is not alone. This gently told story and sweet illustrations offer children who have faced disruptions in their families a sense of control over their circumstances and hope for a brighter future." (Sue Bratton, PhD, LPC-S, RPT-S)
