Something Happened and I'm Scared to Tell: A Book for Young Victims of Abuse [Paperback]

With the aid of a friendly lion, this book encourages young victims of sexual abuse to describe what they experienced and helps them recover self-esteem. Though not intended to replace intensive psychotherapy, the book does let children know that they are not to blame for the abuse they suffered and includes nonjudgmental language about why some adults abuse.
