Reviews

"I recommend Healing the Bruises because it deals with the complex topic of domestic violence about which young readers need to be educated. This topic is quite difficult to understand for children who are the indirect victims of abuse. Yet, the topic is presented in such a way that it is understandable for young readers. Colourful and realistic images of this novel show the feelings of the characters, especially Julia . . . [It appropriately introduce the complex issue of domestic violence to young readers, as well as available resources. The graphic novel presents Julia's story as an example where those experiencing domestic abuse can reach a peaceful and positive resolution."-- (03/19/2014)

"The theme of recovery from abuse lends itself well to this [graphic novel format... The story is both realistic and encouraging; it shows the alternatives and solutions to abuse that are available." Rated E: excellent, enduring, everyone should read it!-- (12/01/2013)

"There can be no easy solution to domestic violence, but this book will help children to recognise that help can be provided." Recommended--Dr. Gregory Bryan"CM: Canadian Review of Materials" (12/20/2013)
