By day, Maya is a girl who loves drawing and playing football, but she often feels sad and angry when her mum and her boyfriend argue, or when she is visiting her dad in prison. By night, Maya is an adventurer – meeting exotic creatures in a kaleidoscopic forest, scuba diving in the ocean, and going head-to-head with bullies at a fantastical circus – who faces her fears, helps others, and knows just what to do to overcome her problems. As her dreamworlds and real world collide, Maya learns how to conquer life’s challenges with the love and support of her family, friends and schoolteacher, Miss Hero. Beautifully illustrated by Chloe Evans and with a Foreword by Lenny Henry CBE, Maya’s ACE Adventures! is both a magical adventure for readers of 7+ and a creative tool to foster hope and resilience for children who have survived traumatic experiences.

With real-life case studies and reflective questions in every chapter, this book is essential reading for students and practitioners within the EY sector, as well as anyone beyond the sector wanting to develop their understanding of SR and how to apply it for themselves and others.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Nurturing Children's Resilience Following Adverse Childhood Experiences: An Adult Guide
• The therapeutic story comes with a guide which is vital if the issues are to be discussed sensitively without re-traumatising the child/ren. • The story can be read with individual children who have been exposed to ACEs, in small groups, or whole classes, and it can help to enable dialogue around the sensitive issues presented. • Many of the books written for children about ACEs and trauma are focused on animal characters which can make it difficult to relate to for a child – this book includes human characters to make it all the more relatable. • The concept of the “keepers” is unique to this book and is a helpful, age-appropriate way to help children to not only recall the ACEs in their lives – but critically, to remember these as hopeful times too. • Each time the main character encounters an ACE and is supported, she develops an ever-growing glow. By the end of the story she emanates a glow from within and this represents her inner resilience. • The book is based on the author’s own ACEs and has authenticity – like the main character, she was supported by people in her life and now provides a positive role model for children who have been exposed to ACEs globally.
