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

Extensively field-tested, this book is intended to help an abused child describe what happened and understand that he or she is not to bleme for the abuse. It provides anatomically correct names for body parts and talks in a nonjudgmental way about why an adult or older child might abuse a young child. Something Happened ... also acknowledges that it's normal to feel confused after abuse. The androgynous child in the illustrations makes the book useful with both boys and girls. Available in Spanish; see page 60.
