"Paris
Goodyear-Brown takes items that are familiar and appealing to children,
such as marshmallows, magnifying glasses, and even umbrellas, and
uses them as "props" to captivate and engage children
and help them work through their treatment issues. This book is
a must-have for therapists seeking to add new and innovative play
therapy techniques to their repertory." Liana Lowenstein,

Gabby is an outgoing, groovy gecko-until she
goes into the woods with Wiley the Wizard Lizard. To make sure his
bad magic is not revealed, the wicked wizard casts a spell of silence
on her. She feels powerless to tell her secret. The reader then
accompanies Gabby on her journey to find her voice. A delightful
story in itself, the book will resonate with traumatized children
who remain locked behind walls of silence. This therapeutic narrative
gently invites children to talk about traumatic experiences and
ultimately empowers them to overcome their victimization.
