30. A Terrible Thing Happened
When children experience trauma, they are often unable to talk about it, as adults may be encouraged to do. The adults in their lives may feel uncomfortable and encourage them to not talk about it. As such, trauma erodes their resilience and potential for success.
A Terrible Thing Happened is about Sherman, a raccoon who developed anxiety and anger after witnessing something awful. He didn’t want to talk about it, but his counselor helped him open up. In the end, he feels better.
