Bad Things Can't Stop the Best Things!: the Story of a Hero Shannon Bond

Bad Things Can't Stop the Best Things: (The Story of a Hero) is a read-aloud story of hope and encouragement for children who have been sexually abused. In simple words and engaging pictures, Bad Things Can't Stop the Best Things recognizes the plight of children who are caught in abuse and celebrates the heroic courage of these children to heal. The healing words in this book, although written for a child's understanding, speak into the hearts of adult survivors also. To be cherished, valued, understood and believed are no small things.

Bad Things Can't Stop the Best Things speaks of HEROES (those who are abused, girls and boys), TRICKSTERS (those who use lies and tricks to hurt a child) and RESCUERS (those who sense danger and are standing by to help).  HEROES are children of promise. The HERO MESSAGE is one of hope, strength and restoration.
