Play therapy and brain science through Clara’s story

Clara’s imaginative play provides the framework for introducing early childhood trauma, stress, and brain development. Her coping skills are presented as “magical powers,” with play therapy, replaying events, and body scans among the approaches described. The book also addresses ADHD, PTSD, and aggression, connecting these subjects to Clara’s efforts to manage daily challenges. Its combination of a child-centered story and explanations of therapy practices gives the subject matter a concrete focus for discussion with children and adults.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 6–12 encountering ideas about trauma, coping, or brain development
  • Adults seeking a child-focused introduction to play therapy and early childhood stress
  • Families interested in stories addressing ADHD, PTSD, or adoption-related topics

Book overview

Can a cat, a tutu, and a remoste control help Clara heal her brain from early childhood trauma? Find out in this creative adventure while learning about brain science and the power a little girl has over her aggression. ADHD and PTSD can't slow her down as she practices her magical therapy skills to rebuild what her brain missed as a baby. In this children's book, kids ages 6 to 12, and adults will learn about the developmental changes a brain goes through when under stress during early childhood. Clara introduces her magical powers, which are her learned coping skills through play therapy, to show how she can overcome the maladaptive challenges she struggles with daily. Replaying events through play therapy and taking breaks to complete body scans show the mastery of psychotherapy approaches to healing early childhood trauma.
