Zoom Into Books Author -- 2021 New York City Big Book Award, 2022 Independent Press Award -- Little Miss Linda Goes To Counseling is a story written and illustrated to create an opportunity for children to begin having healthy conversations about counseling. In the African-American community, counseling is seldom discussed or described in a way that portrays counseling in a positive matter. As a result, children are not aware of what counseling is or how it can help them to speak with a school counselor or other professionals about problems they have. Many children remain silent about their emotions because they may not feel safe talking about their feelings with others. This book is an opportunity to create a safe space for children to begin to talk about their emotions and know that it is okay to ask for help and seek counseling.
