Product Description

Product Description

When too little is known and too much is feared, we turn to books. In the spirit of providing much-needed solace comes Henry & the White Wolf, an illustrated storybook-and poignant allegory--to help kids who are sick, or kids with friends who are sick, or kids whose parents or siblings or teachers are sick. What makes the simple, straightforward story especially comforting and so close to a child's point of view is that it is written and illustrated by a teenage brother and sister who draw not only on their own feelings of being in the hospital, but the experience of offering support to close friends with serious illnesses. It is this spirit that inspired the authors to package with the book a soft, round stone for every child to hold-just like the talismanic stone in the story that Henry, the little sick hedgehog, must hold onto while undergoing the debilitating treatment offered up by the fearsome White Wolf. No matter how bad it gets, Henry clutches his stone for dear life-literally-and it reminds him that the dignity and courage he needs to get better are always with him.

From the Back Cover

BACKCOVER: It??s not easy being a hero. For one courageous little hedgehog it means facing his darkest fears, such as the White Wolf. Or the uncertainty of change, like when all his quills fall out. In this inspiring tale about the journey back to health, a hedgehog named Henry clings to his good-luck stone, and, using all of his inner strength finds his way out of illness. Included for all little heroes is a stone of their very own, a reminder of the strength that is always within them.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspirational Tale, July 4 2001
This review is from: Henry and the White Wolf (Hardcover)
This story provides a way for children and parents alike to put in simple terms the complex feelings which arise with chronic illnesses and disorders. For children too young to discuss their feelings, this book voices the fears they cannot express with words. I recommend this book to all children who must face illness, whether it be chronic or temporary.

Henry and the White Wolf is an extraordinary fable and a must-read for families with, and without, young loved ones who are ill. Beautifully written and illustrated, this magical little story offers hope and healing for children undergoing difficult medical procedures. The accompanying smooth pebble and the book are treasures to be held onto in time of sickness and in health. Enjoy this enchanting tale of strength, hope, and dignity.

This review is from: Henry and the White Wolf (Hardcover)
Beautifully illustrated story that moves the soul. This book fills your heart with joy. It's not only for sick children but any child that is enduring a difficult time in his or her life, like the sickness of a sibling, freind, parent or close one. I highly recommned this book to anyone that is able to read or is able to be read to, while experiencing the uncertainty of being ill.
