NLM classification:

WS 160.

Summary: Written by University of Bristol student Rebecca Barns and illustrated by artist Lindsey Barraclough, the book takes an allegorical look at the lives and struggles of four garden dwelling creatures, whose exploits and struggles bring this difficult issue to life. The book has been funded by the Safer Bristol team including NHS Bristol, Bristol City Council and the University of Bristol. Domestic abuse is a difficult subject to talk about with adults and can be confusing and difficult for children to understand. The book focuses on four characters the Bright Ones that live in every garden with giants, and explores how they cope when the giants are scary, and what happens when one giant leaves the garden. Hugh Annett, Bristol?s director of public health says: "Parents, caregivers and practitioners are often unsure how to talk with a child about domestic violence and abuse. We hope that this book opens up conversations where children can raise any concerns that they may have and start that process."
