Publisher Description

A young boy learns to validate and accept his feelings as he comes to understand the different parts of himself.

As a boy goes through his day, he encounters all sorts of people and experiences. He reacts differently depending on the situation. Whether it’s The Manager who takes charge and organizes, The Exile who makes himself small and disappears, or The Firefighter who employs a lot of noise and distractions, each of these “parts” is useful in helping him cope.

Based on the popular teachings of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of therapy developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, this book is not only a great introduction to our feelings and behaviors but a way for all kids to talk about what they are experiencing. Children will learn to accept all parts of themselves and understand that within us there are no bad parts!

No Bad Parts! Reviews

4.5
“Therapy homework was to read this picture book to understand more about what might be going on inside. And it was quick, easy to understand, and -honestly- surprisingly beautiful. I haven't read a picture book in over twenty years, and I forgot that the images on the page can be even more impactful than the the words. And when both the words and images are impactful you get a very powerful message in one short read.”
