Woods in the Books recommendation:
While this book is never graphic and its folktale elements provide some distance, it handily equips younger readers with vocabulary for a very delicate subject, deftly handling a balance between delivering a story and teaching readers not only how to voice their own experiences but how to process such experiences amongst their peers.
