A Letter From Emma' is a beautifully illustrated story that gently introduces children to abuse prevention skills while serving as a spring board for helping parents and children begin a dialogue about this sensitive topic. While written for the Amish community, its content is a gift to families from all walks of life.

This engaging book for children is a valuable resource not only for the Amish community but for any parent searching for a way to discuss abuse prevention with their children. The illustrations are beautiful and the book does a wonderful job of addressing the topic of abuse in a sensitive, gentle way that even a young child can understand.

Author Stacy Jagger is a respected therapist, working creatively and honorably with children and families. Her dedication to her clients and her profession shines as she walks with those whom have endured trauma and pain. Navigating difficult cases that involve children who have suffered deep emotional injury, she has been a conduit of God's grace in helping these children find strength and healing from abuse. Stacy demonstrates the skill, and artfully so, to work with those who may be different than her yet share common concerns such as the well-being and safety of children. Her heart for children and their safety is immense, and she has delicately yet heartily joined with the leaders and parents of an Amish community to create a respectful way to educate children about how to keep their bodies sacred and safe.
