Young Children, National Tragedy, and Picture Books.
McMath, Joan S.
Young Children, v52 n3 p82-84 Mar 1997
Suggests that, rather than exposing young children to media coverage of national tragedies and disasters, caregivers should read aloud to children from picture books that convey stability, calmness, and reassurance. Includes tips for helping children cope with tragedy, guidelines for selecting books, and an annotated list of 25 books that can help children feel secure in the wake of tragedy. (TJQ)
