The Solace Tree is excited to announce the arrival of our latest book, Kids Can Cope. Kids Can Cope is an activity book from children for children who are living with change and loss. Written by Solace Tree Founder Emilio Parga, the book features more than 60 pages of text offering numerous opportunities for children to describe what is happening, write down their questions, draw pictures, identify sources of help and engage in other activities to help them cope. In addition, a four page glossary explains a long list of terms that may be puzzling to children. Caring adults will welcome the new tools that Kids Can Cope offers them to help children striving to find ways to manage challenges arising from their own life-threatening illnesses or those of others. ---Charles A. Corr, Ph.D. Losing a precious member of the family means that the idea of family will never be the same. Previous assumptions and what could have been become a fantasy world, with all expectations suddenly gone. Learning to live with loss forces us to find a way to remember, keep this special person in our hearts, yet experience joy and life again with those we love. This workbook allows children the opportunity for self discovery down this previously untraveled path, opening new doors to share thoughts and wishes and fears. Through this process they find themselves again and create family anew. ---Caroline Hastings, MD, Children s Hospital and Research Center, Oakland, California The Author, Emilio Parga, is a member of the Association for Death Education and Counseling (ADEC), the National Alliance for Grieving Children, the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children (APSAC), and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Emilio lives with his wife and son in Reno, NV. In these impassioned books, Pediatric Thanatologist Emilio Parga, M.A., charts the complex emotional waters every family must navigate in the wake of death. Written from his personal experiences and through the children and teens at The Solace Tree, these books are an invaluable tool for parents, educators, clergy, children and teens and those who care for them.
