"Thank you, Keri, for your generous donation of When I Was Little and Sometimes to our Napa County Courage Center (because it takes COURAGE for a child to tell their story). There is so little written for children on these subjects and we all thank you for your heartfelt and important contribution."

Verity's reviews of the books. 

When I Was Little:
Verity works with kids of all ages who have experienced trauma, primarily sexual abuse or trauma. When I Was Little gives kids a way to understand that talking about what happened can help kids feel better and heal. The book shows kids a situation that they can relate to in simple but powerful terms, and the situation is vague yet potent enough to be relatable to anyone who reads it. This book encourages bravery and resiliency in the kids who need it most, and for that, we are forever grateful. 

Sometimes:
Kids who have gone through the foster system have a higher likelihood of sexual abuse, so Verity has helped a number of foster children and foster parents navigate life post-trauma and post-placement. Sometimes is a book that shows these kids that they are not alone, and they are not weird or wrong for having been placed in a new home. We look forward to reading this book with the kids who need to see and hear these messages most.
