A Gentle Story to Help Children Talk About Difficult Feelings After a Traumatic or Confusing Event
Some experiences are hard to talk about, especially for children. A Terrible Thing Happened is a comforting picture book that helps kids make sense of big emotions after something upsetting has happened. Without naming the event, the story follows Sherman, a young raccoon who begins to feel worried, angry, and confused. With patience, comfort, and support, Sherman learns that talking about his feelings can help him start to feel better.
Thoughtfully written and illustrated by child development specialists, this book gives families, caregivers, and educators a reassuring way to open conversations about big emotions. It validates children's feelings, shows that all emotions are welcome, and reminds them they are safe, cared for, and never alone. This beautiful story helps children understand that healing begins when we share how we feel.
