The Silent Selkie describes a character who is unable to
communicate in words and whose only way of communicating is through
the weather, which leads to disastrous consequences not only for
the Selkie, but also for everyone around her. But behind her golden
scales, the Selkie hides a secret wound that even she is unaware
of, and it is only when the Selkie's skin becomes uncovered by the
force of the sea that she remembers the terrible story of what
caused her hurt, long ago. Only then can the Selkie come to terms
with her wound and begin a journey of healing that will bring her
face-to-face with what she has needed all along. Beautifully
illustrated and sensitively written, The Silent Selkie deals with
the effects of trauma on a young person - including
hypersensitivity and emotional reactivity. The story uses the
metaphor of trauma as a 'hidden wound', which in reality is an
emotional or psychological pain that needs both acknowledgement and
expression, within the context of a safe, supportive environment,
in which to begin to heal. This colourful storybook: Helps adults
provide a safe environment for children to use non-verbal
expression to communicate experiences that may be difficult to talk
about. Uses creative metaphors and symbols to offer children a
supportive way to communicate, whilst maintaining a safe distance
from the source of their emotional pain. Inspires and empowers
children to begin their journey of healing. The Silent Selkie
encourages young people who may have adverse childhood experiences
or trauma to develop greater understanding of how this can affect
them and is ideal reading for those working with vulnerable
children and young people seeking to use the expressive arts to
develop greater emotional literacy in children with a background of
trauma. For effective use, this book should be purchased alongside
the guidebook. Both books can be purchased together as a set,
