Reihe: Therapeutic Fairy Tales

This beautifully illustrated and sensitive fairy tale has been created for children experiencing OCD (obsessive thoughts/compulsive behaviours). With engaging and gentle illustrations to help prompt conversation, it tells the story of a girl helped by an animal-guide to find ways to manage overwhelming feelings and intrusive thoughts. This book is also available to buy as part of the Therapeutic Fairy Tales, Volume 2 set, which includes The Sky Fox and Into The Forest.

Therapeutic Fairy Tales Volume 1 (2021) and Volume 2 are both a series of short, modern tales dedicated to exploring challenging feelings and life situations that might be faced by young children. Each fairy tale is designed to be used by parents, caregivers and professionals as they use stories therapeutically to support children’s mental and emotional health.

Other books in the series include:

- The Sky Fox: For Children Experiencing Loneliness And Isolation

- Into The Forest: For Children Living With Anxiety

- The Night Crossing: A Lullaby For Children On Life’s Last Journey

- The Storm: For Children Growing Through Parents’ Separation

- The Island: For Children With A Parent Living With Depression

- Storybook Manual: An Introduction To Working With Storybooks Therapeutically And Creatively

The Waves – part of the Therapeutic Fairy Tales series – is born out of a creative collaboration between Pia Jones and Sarah Pimenta.

Über Autor(innen)

Pia Jones is an author, workshop facilitator and UKCP integrative arts psychotherapist, who trained at The Institute for Arts in Therapy & Education.

Core to her practice, is using arts and story as support during times of loss, transition and change, giving a TEDx talk on the subject. She was Story Director on artgym’s award-winning film documentary, ‘The Moving Theatre,’ where puppetry brought to life real stories of people’s migrations.

Sarah Pimenta is an experienced artist, workshop facilitator and lecturer in creativity. Her specialist art form is print-making, and her creative practice has brought texture, colour and emotion into a variety of environments, both in the UK and abroad. Sarah has over 20 years’ experience of designing and delivering creative, high-quality art workshops in over 250 schools, diverse communities and public venues, including the British Library, V&A, NESTA, Oval House and many charities. Her work is often described as art with therapeutic intent, and she is skilled in working with adults and children who have access issues and complex needs.

Both Pia and Sarah hope these Therapeutic Fairy Tales can introduce the theme of nature as a resource, alongside art and storytelling, to children and families.
