Ladder 35 Engine 40 Summary
| Ladder 35, Engine 40 is the true story of seven-year-old Juliana Lee Hatkoff's attempt to cope with her feelings about September 11th. It contains as much of the verbatim dialogue between Juliana and her father as could be recalled. In the book, Juliana deals with her anxiety by deciding to help out by bringing her piggy bank to the local firehouse. There she meets a retired firefighter who happens to be the official starter of the New York City Marathon. The firefighter invites Juliana to join him on the Verrazano Bridge to help him start this year's race, where she discovers that life after September 11th will, in fact, go on. This poignant (and at times haunting) children's book is a very good example of the honest yet reassuring dialogue between parent and child recommended for children ages 6-9. It is an excellent tool for parents to introduce the event and to begin dealing with the sensitive issues emanating from this most difficult experience. New York State Governor George E. Pataki writes in his Introduction, "This profound piece of work provides many other children with an opportunity to heal from this horrific injustice, and encourages families to channel their own childrenĘs emotions and feelings into an appropriate outlet so they may heal." This eBook was written in conjunction with the NYU Child Study Center and has been reviewed and edited by renowned child psychiatrist Harold Koplewicz, MD and includes his extensive Doctor's Foreword. Photo-impressionistic illustrations by artist Joshua Scott. The authors and the illustrator are donating their portion ofįthe profits from the sale of this eBook to the 35-40 Family Relief Fund. |
