She is co-editor of Dramatherapy with Children, Young People and Schools: Enabling Creativity, Sociability, Communication and Learning (2012) published by Routledge.
Today’s Author Q&A features Ann Dix. I am really excited to dig a little deeper into her book Little Mouse Finds a Safe Place. To help readers, get to know Ann’s work better and the premise of the book, we asked Ann five questions on how to help children navigate the deeply distressing subject and experience of domestic violence. Ann’s book is the first children’s book on domestic violence that I have certainly come across and I wanted to share it with parents and children everywhere who might be desperately in need of such a book. I hope you find the Q&A helpful and feel free to reach out…
