trauma and grief processing:
Wie Pippa wieder lachen lernte (How Pippa learned to laugh again)
Ein Bilderbuch für Kinder (A picture book for children)
Authors: Katharina Pal-Handl, Regina Lackner, Brigitte Lueger-Schuster
published 2004 by Springer
Every child can be affected by a traumatic event, be it the sudden or unexpected death of a family member, a serious traffic accident or the experience of a natural disaster. Many children appear inconspicuous on the outside, but they torment themselves internally with fantasies, such as that they are to blame for the event because of “being bad”. Pippa – a traumatized girl – and the auxiliary animal, the lion Leo-Rix, offer affected children the opportunity to express themselves and to ask questions. By identifying with the two figures and relating to their own experience, which can be entered or drawn in a speech bubble, the children – supported by relatives, therapists or helpers – have the opportunity to process the traumatic experience. The story is impressively illustrated with graphics by Christiane Nöstlinger.
A parenting guide for traumatized children (Elternratgeber für traumatisierte Kinder, Katharina Pal-Handl and Brigitte Lueger-Schuster, 2004) as well as the professional help for traumatized children (Fachliche Hilfe für traumatisierte Kinder, Regina Lackner, 2004) were published to accompany the picture book.
available individually and as a complete set in bookshops or online (also as an eBook)
