The books with a review from Amazon are the ones I have not yet had the chance to obtain a review copy. They have however been recommended to me by professionals in the field as well as consumers.

A Terrible Thing Happened by Margaret M. Holmes (Excellent book about a child who saw a "terrible thing" and how it affected his life. He begins to feel better when he begins to talk to an adult. This book I feel would be especially helpful for any child who has been exposed to any trauma and he/she would learn that they are not alone with their feelings).

 

Adam and the Magic Marble by Adam & Carol Buehrens (A delightful adventure book about 3 boys. One has cerebral palsy and the other two have Tourette syndrome. They find a magic marble with magic powers and accidentally it becomes aimed at the bullies. I recommend this book to any child who has a disorder that makes them feel different from their peers).

 

Depression is the Pits, But I'm Getting Better: A Guide for Adolescents by E. Jane Garland, M.D. (An excellent book for teens who are experiencing any level of depression. One of the key things I found in the book is the reminder to tell someone and it discusses the best people to tell, such as mental health professionals. Discusses the symptoms and types of depression, how to get help, discusses medication, counseling and provides personal stories of another teen's experience with depression. This book could save lives).

Homemade Books to Help Kids Cope: An Easy to Learn Technique for Parents & Professionals by Robert G. Ziegler, M.D. (A book "to show parents, teachers, and counselors how to develop stories to help guide children through new or troublesome events." This book, to be read by the parent, a teacher or counselor will be extremely helpful for children of various ages in allowing books - the reading or writing - to work through various life issues such as divorce and adoption).
