gros chagrins. Tout comme l'adulte, l'enfant n'est pas à l'abri des soucis de l'existence. Face aux difficultés, il n'a pas tous les outils. Par ses personnages attachants auxquels l'enfant peut s'identifier, le conte lui permet de nouer un dialogue avec son entourage et d'amadouer son anxiété en évoquant, directement ou non, ce qui le trouble. Près de cent histoires pour dédramatiser toutes les situations : peur du noir, cauchemars, entrée à la grande école, disputes, maladie, naissance d'une petite sœur... Des fiches pratiques expliquent le traumatisme que vit l'enfant et donnent les clés pour l'aider à y faire face.
