What is wrong with Will?
Will is a typical six-year-old boy: he loves to tell "knock-knock
jokes," collect bugs, and play with other kids. On most school
days, Will goes to Nana Winnie's until his mom returns from work.
Will enjoys having his Nana as a babysitter. Recently, Nana's
cousin Perry has come to visit and suddenly Will no longer wants to
go there. He starts having nightmares, acting out in school and
wetting his bed. Will's parents are worried. What is wrong with
Will?
Experts Acclaim for "Will the Courageous"
"As a parent, what should you do if your daughter or son told you
that she or he had been sexually abused by someone? Thesubject of
this book is certainly not a pleasant thing to read or talk about,
but it is defi nitely one that needs to be discussed.Author Amy
Barth, who has an extensive background in social work, deals with
her material in a delicate and age-appropriateway. Amy Barth's
books would be an excellent resource to encourage any child who has
experienced sexual abuse. It couldalso be used in controlled
situations to introduce the topic in an effort to instruct children
how to avoid becoming a sexualabuse victim."
--Wayne S. Walker, "Home School Book Review"
"Will the Courageous supports important issues regarding sexual
abuse that may arise in a young person's life. Writtenlike a
comforting letter from a survivor, the young reader will become
aware of the importance and safety to reportany encounters. The
book is simply written and in understandable terms for any 6 to
9-year old. The information isconcise, yet heartening and loving.
Will the Courageous should be read with a parent present to
encourage dialog aboutthis significant subject."
--Irene Watson, author of "The Sitting Swing"
"Will the Courageous relates a story that reconfirms what I have
observed over many years. Abused children, male orfemale,
universally believe that it is their fault. Their self-image is
mangled; they need to tell the truth; and they mustget help from
someone who knows how to treat such an injury to the soul."
--Fr. Heyward B. Ewart, III, PhD Author of "Am I Bad? Recovering
From Abuse"
