    About this audiobook

    On the News gently introduces young children to the realities of natural disasters, terrorism and other forms of tragedy. In age-appropriate language and tone, Dr. Roberts explains what tragedy is, the feelings it may create and how to manage those feelings. She also emphasizes the good that can come out of tragedy, looking at how people help one another in caring, compassionate and heroic ways. The book's question-and-answer format will help parents have a meaningful conversation about these difficult topics with their children and equip them to better handle questions that arise when children are exposed to the news.
    The World Around Us series introduces children to complex cultural, social and environmental issues that they may encounter outside their homes, in a way that is accessible. Sidebars offer further reading for older children or care providers who have bigger questions. For younger children just starting to make these observations, the simple question-and-answer format of the main text will provide a foundation of knowledge on the subject matter.

      I love this book, but I hate that this book is needed. We live in a 24/7 news cycle world. Explaining that to kids can be hard, but Dr. Roberts is here to help. This book uses both illustrations and real pictures to point out what is being explained. In this instance, its about tragedies and disasters seen on the news. The author takes time to discuss the difference between the two, why they happen, and how people are affected. This series has been a great source of information for parents and kids, to help them understand everyday life.
