As the frequency of severe weather events increases around our world and we're all trying to figure out how to prepare for and recover from these events, those of us who work with younger children have seen a lack of resources to help share this topic with them. With funding from a NASA grant through the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and the Learning Ecosystems Northeast project, The Maine State Library has partnered with The Healing Library to create a brand new toolkit for younger children and their caregivers to talk about severe weather events.
The toolkit is available for FREE to download and the kits to circulate can be created at your library or purchased from The Healing Library.
