Shocking Children's Book, Good For Grown-ups

Sometimes at work I look at new stock, so I can make recommendations, give a critique, and stay up to date.

I sat and read this book today, full of historical facts, children's experiences and most heartbreaking their artwork.

Nip to a bookshop to buy it or visit a library to borrow it. As an adult I learnt so much that I was ignorant of. It's apolitical, colourful, shocking and sad, but also full of hope.

Gosh thank you all for your comments - I was concerned I'd been advertising and a bit political, but it is a great book.

Much like what I learned when I started working on the adolescent unit at the psychiatric hospital (where I worked for 37 years) these children and youth have lived and experienced more in their short lives than I ever will. I thank God that's true for me but pray that future children will not have to live through the same/similar experiences.
