After his first day of school, Qais comes home every day telling the same story about Baskid, who was abandoned by his parents at school and is feeling unloved and afraid.After a month of trying in vain to get him to look normal—or even calm—the idea struck me to write down his story, but with a positive ending, taking his feelings into account so he would feel understood, and directing his attention toward the positive side of the situation.It was wonderful! And the little homemade book became my companion to help my son gently work through his feelings and fears. I hope it will be yours, too.
