Sabrina may seem like an extraordinary young girl; unlike many children her age. She's someone you want to be like, even though it doesn't always feel safe to be different. Children want to feel normalcy in their life - whatever this means to them - so they seldom welcome change or relate to anything that seems different from how they view their world. Sabrina is on a journey. Without argument she accepts friends, loved ones, and strangers for the way they are; not the way she wants them to be. Sabrina has a powerful ally that leads the way along a less worn path she bravely travels; a path and process of discovery that reveals the bent and rainbow color of who she truly is. Reasoning change is Sabrina's dearest friend. She has become aware of time, not clock time but a sense of urgency filled with the desire to make sense of her world. With each ticking moment that passes Sabrina enters the silent space that holds no chatter and confusion to block a path she began long before she was born. "Sabrina Listens through the Fog" is a beautifully illustrated, heartwarming children's story meant to be read with an adult. Discovery Activity pages at the end of the book encourage authentic, sincere dialogue that establishes self-worth and concern for one another, while honing a child's ability to reason the challenges and joys of a lifetime. As children recognize and communicate deep-seated feelings and emotions they begin to look beyond appearances, embrace people and situations around them with acceptance and compassion, and be an example of inspiration and light - open and available to "listen through the fog" of their life; dissipating fear and allowing children to transition change smoothly as the imaginary bridge between illusion and reality is crossed.
