Jackie Finds Her Light (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798284931660)

Jackie Finds Her Light is a powerful story about a bright, brave girl who learns to rise after something deeply painful and confusing happens to her. Once a proud honor roll student, Jackie returns to school distant, distracted, and full of hurt. When her school refers her to the Resilient Stars Program, Jackie begins a journey of healing. With the help of her coach, she learns that what happened was not her fault-and that even the heaviest feelings can be understood and managed.

Using CBT-based strategies and motivational coaching, Jackie learns to track her emotions, challenge the thoughts that make her feel small, and reclaim her goals. She faces her fears, rewrites her story, and discovers that her light was never lost-it was waiting. This beautifully illustrated book helps children recognize and express their feelings while building self-worth and resilience. Gentle, honest, and hopeful, it's perfect for classrooms, counseling, and families navigating difficult experiences. Jackie's story reminds us that even after events that shock, hurt, or confuse us, healing is possible. And every child deserves to shine again.
