The Cryin' House: A Story for Children Who Witnessed Family Violence

By Elizabeth Morgan Cornwell and Julee S. Poole

Family violence has many adverse effects on children who witness the abuse. In her book, The Cryin House, author Julee S. Poole gives voice to the children who are growing up in a violent home environment.

The book explores the pain and suffering that these silent victims have to go through and the dynamics of the family. Readers will be gripped by the dismal reality of domestic violence and its effects on children. At the same time, they will realize that there is hope and steps to be taken to help the child and their family. Although presented in the wrappings of a picture book, there are glimpses of truth embedded beneath the storyline. This is a gateway for children to explore their feelings and an opportunity for adults to provide effective support.
