Synopsis

The Day My World Boomed is a story about a little boy who learns about "terrorists" from a classmate. The story is written for children that have been impacted by terrorism, either directly or indirectly. It is designed to allow the child see his or her own experiences and feelings reflected in the story. In doing so, it facilitates the verbalizations of their own feelings and experiences. The book is part of the Empowering Kids Series, a collection of empathically reflective stories told from the perspective of children and meant to be used by parents and mental health providers to facilitate the readers' healing process by validating their experiences and emotions and reducing feelings of despair and isolation. The Day My World Boomed also includes strategies to help children overcome terrorism exposure.
