Suzanne Stutman has developed a book of poetry for abused and traumatized children all over the world. The title clearly states the goal of the book: to give children the power to mend the ragged edges of hurt and create a healing garment of hope. The sections, Adventures in Writing Poetry, Feeling Safe, Feeling out of Place, Positive Feelings, and The Future, offers readers space for their own poetry in the wide margins and blank pages. To be given the opportunity to create poetry right next to the words of a published author is quite an enticement for an emerging writer. The first poem "My Declaration of Right," sets the tone with, I have the right to be happy. I have the right to be safe. The exercises would work well in small groups. Children reading the book alone may appreciate having someone with whom to share the poems and the feelings. This book would find its place in therapy centers, homes and schools. A welcoming way for children to feel safe and explore the world of poetry.
