What people are saying about Brave Little Bear...
" Sensitively written, The Brave little Bear's messages reaches out to children in a way that no adult can. I believe Bear's thoughts 'you can be brave, find someone to share' will resonate with other children and encourage them to share. an excellent tool for psychologists, counsellors and parents, dealing with precious little ones who have experienced sexual abuse".
Dr Jan monument - Clinical Psychologist
"Those who care for children - parents, guardians, teachers - have a huge influence on their lives. I speak to adults all over our country whose desire for children in their care is for them to be kept safe morally, spiritually, and physically, but who are concerned that they cannot always be present with the children in their care. How do we warn our children of danger, without frightening them? This is why Brave Little Bear is important. Xenia Schembri understands well the dual imperative of the need for education and the importance of protecting our children's innocence"
Wendy Francis - Qld Director Australian Christian Lobby, National spokesperson for women and children.

'ChildSafe would like to commend the work of At the Ark and their updated text for Children, 'Too big not to share'. Many in the community understandably find this a difficult topic to approach and manage with children. However, Xenia has struck a good balance with this text, to support broader preventative approaches to child safety. Well done.'
