 Mirror, Mirror: A Program for Lost Youth by Sarah Emily Hillyer"For a long time, I worked with at-risk young people in alternative school settings, and I noticed the prevalence of their fractured sense of self," says author and child psychologist Sarah Emily Hillyer. Her solution can be found in her new art therapy handbook Mirror, Mirror: A program for lost youth. "As a psychologist, I have tried to support their understanding of self through the use of fairy tales to develop healthier ways to relate to themselves and others." This innovative and interactive therapy brings out popular themes in children's age-old tales that storytellers have been telling for hundreds of years. Fairy tales discuss resilience, fortitude, determination, grit, and so many other attributes, as well as trusting one's own instincts. These stories allow children to think about their own lives and how they can work through any mental health issues. Mirror, Mirror fairy tales include "Rapunzel" (France), "Twelve Wild Geese" (Ireland), "Vasilisa" (Russia), "The Ugly Duckling" (Denmark), "Sealskin/Soulskin" "What better way for kids to work through their own problems than by reading fairy tales! Mirror, Mirror not only captures the imagination, but allows for interaction with the characters. Definitely a winner." – Lynn Eddy, VP of Acquisitions, Strategic Book Publishing About the Author: Sarah Emily Hillyer was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
