My Yucky Feeling
By Anne Malver, M.A.
Adults call it their ‘Sixth Sense’ or a ‘Gut Feeling.’ Sometimes they call it that ‘Voice Inside Their Head.”… My Yucky Feeling, a small yet powerful book, addresses the fact that we have an internal alarm system when danger is near. This can be described as “My Yucky Feeling” and can help keep us safe when in harm’s way. This book can be used as a teaching tool, as well as a therapeutic aid.
'Teaching children to trust their gut makes this book a must read for children & parents! And it’s an outstanding resource. As parents, teachers, and trusted adults it is our job to empower and educate our children. This engaging book is an important teaching tool that can save a child by letting them know they matter and they have the power within themselves—Trust Your Gut!
Timely. Important. Life Changing. Life Saving. And...think about donating one to your child’s school. That’s my plan!"

My Safe Place
By Anne Malver, M.A.
My Safe Place, a delightful lyrical story for children of all ages, guides the reader on a journey into one’s great big mind which leads to a place of emotional safety and comfort. From this “place” and with a great big breath or 2, the reader finds themself in their own safe place. You’ll be carried away by the ethereal watercolor illustrations by young artist and student of veterinary medicine, Petra Cole.
"Every counselor or therapist who works with children should have a copy of Anne Malver’s books, My Safe Place: A Mindful Journey Toward Healing and Well-Being, and My Yucky Feeling. My Yucky Feeling allows an entrée to be explored and shared by a child who does not have the words for what they experienced. My Safe Place engages the potential for healing for a child. The meaning of these books is a sensitive metaphor for one of the major traumas of our time, childhood sexual abuse. These gentle but profound books provide a safe way for a child to express feelings or events of abuse or other trauma that they cannot express otherwise."
