I'll Know What to Do: A Kid’s Guide
to Natural Disasters ..................................$9.95
Earthquakes, floods, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes; pretty
scary words, especially for anyone who lives
in a place that has experienced any of these
events. In particular, a child who has survived a
natural disaster, or seen one on television, may
have trouble falling asleep, have nightmares, or
start worrying too much. This book will help. I'll Know What to Do
looks at each natural disaster separately. First it gives the facts:
What causes an earthquake? Can we predict a tornado? Why are
mud slides dangerous? How are fires tracked? Then it provides
important tips on prevention, safety, and what to do in case disaster
does strike. Perhaps most important, though, the book
explores the feelings that often emerge in the aftermath, and
offers useful techniques to help young people work through them.
This is the first book of its kind-a manual for helping kids understand
and cope with their feelings and reactions to these frightening
events.
