Echoes is a collection of quotes and imagery, affirmed by children and adolescents in therapeutic settings.
The insight children and adolescents are able to reflect upon never fails to impress and provide adequate food for thought.
This collection accentuates how young people perceive life as they strive towards processing their troubles, growth and change; granting therapeutic knowledge, and a gentle reminder to actively listen to not only ourselves, but to all our children.
Children do not need us to save them, they need us to listen.

This book brings awareness to what children go through. It is nice to know and reflect on what others go through. Ideal to read, as it is very engaging.
A compilation of thoughts that go through kids' minds. This book took me by surprise, especially since we usually underestimate them and never think they notice things. Very touching and at times sad. Each thought is accompanied by a visual image created by the author to give a better understanding of what the child is feeling. A must read if you want to better understand them.
