This book looks at the benefits to children of listening to fairy tales; a selection of which are provided; and creating their own. I found Storytelling with Children in Crisis thought provoking and I am glad I was able to put into practice some of its ideas.- Counselling Children and Young People JournalDescribing home-based therapeutic work in real-life chaotic families; this book has relevance to anyone working with children and families. What is most helpful is the authors readiness to discuss her own doubts and vulnerabilities. - Community CareMolly Salans has been a storyteller for many years; visiting children in deprived areas who have depression; ADHD and behavioral problems caused by poverty; absent fathers; depressed mothers; run-down schools and violence. Describing her therapy sessions as they happened; Molly Salans puts the children in the context of their lives and recounts her sessions; the folk and fairy stories she told and the ones they developed themselves. In doing so; she shows how storytelling and listening; thinking about characters in the stories and talking about alternative endings inspires the imagination; compassion and way of thinking needed to cope with such emotionally difficult lives. This remarkable book includes over fifteen original childrens drawings and reveals the methodology Molly uses to help heal these children and their families; making it essential for all those involved in therapy and in storytelling.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful high quality songbook with illustrationsBy journalistNYBeautiful high quality songbook with illustrations. The music is intermediate; and contains lyrics under the notes and also a separate lyric sheet with drawings to accompany. Has many classic Disney Princess favorites and other songs straight off of Broadway. The bass chords are fairly simple in all and infrequent in many of the songs. All the songs are straight from the movies;even Robin Hood gets a solo appearance. The contents are:Belle (Little Town)Can You Feel The Love Tonight- the movie version; not Elton Johns.Colors Of The WindA Dream Is A Wish Your Heart MakesForget About LoveHail To The Princess Aurora/Sleeping BeautyHomeI Wont Say (Im In Love)I WonderIm Wishing/One SongIf I Cant Love HerJust Around The RiverbendKiss The GirlLoveOnce Upon A DreamOut Of Thin AirPart Of Your WorldReflectionSo This Is Love-The Cinderella WaltzSome Day My Prince Will ComeSomething ThereTheres Only One ArielA Whole New WorldWith A Smile And A Song.Fantastic edition to your music library. Easy for most second-year students to play.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. WAY TOOOOO HARDBy L. PRUITTThe description did not match the contents Apparently there is another version; whch was the EASY book. It had good choice of music; but it most certainly is for the intermediate (on the high side). I6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Perfect!By GotKuro?At first I worried about which version to choose. I decided to get the piano/vocal/guitar version rather than the big note one. I have 9 years experience of piano so far and I am 14 years old now. I found this book to be perfectly in my level. The songs are exactly the same as the real song! For example; in Reflection from Mulan; it has 4 flats (key of A flat) just like the real song! My friend who never touched the piano before; had just bought the Big Note version. She thought it was fun and perfect for her level as well. Big note is extremely easy and it is NOT the same clef as the real song. All songs are changed to C major or no flats/sharps at all unless indicated which is rare. If you have experience and you want something that you can perform infront of a lot of people; then choose the piano/vocal/guitar. If you have barely or no experience; and youre only going to perform infront of people who wouldnt laugh at you; then you should choose the Big Note version. Soon when I have time; Ill record myself playing. My youtube account is chococat1997. Im not sure when I can record; so if you dont see it; then never mind; but im pretty sure ill upload a recording by this month.p.s. The piano/vocal/guitar uses two hands and a petal. The big note one is only for your right hand; or two hands if you have small kid hands or short fingers
