Piplo Productions and the National Child Traumatic Stress Network
This free disaster resource developed jointly with the National Child Traumatic Stress Network and Piplo Productions offers parents and caregivers a way to talk with their children about disasters. This series of children’s books describes some of Trinka’s and Sam’s reactions to disasters like fires, earthquakes, COVID-19 and others. The books talk about how their parents help them express their feelings and feel safer. A caregiver guide is available in the back of the book that provides ways caregivers and parents can use the stories with their children.
