Sherman Smith saw the most terrible thing happen. At first, he tried to
forget about it, but soon something inside him started to bother him. He
felt nervous for no reason. Sometimes his stomach hurt. He had bad
dreams. And he started to feel angry and do mean things, which got him
in trouble. Then he met Ms. Maple, who helped him talk about the
terrible thing that he had tried to forget. Now, Sherman is feeling much
better. This gently told and tenderly illustrated story is for children
who have witnessed any kind of violent or traumatic episode, including
physical abuse, school or gang violence, accidents, homicide, suicide,
and natural disasters such as floods or fire.
