ABSTRACT
This chapter provides five exercises for using the storybook The Girl Who Lost the Light in Her Eyes therapeutically in a more directive way with a child or young person. The first exercise encourages the child or young person to look at the face of the little girl on the front cover of the story book and to reflect on how the girl might be feeling. The second exercise invites the young person to look at the body language of the little girl on story book and to suggest what sensations she might be feeling in her body. The third exercise asks the child or young person why they think the girl in the story might be so sad. The fourth exercise invites the child or young person to consider what has come back to the little girl at the end of the story. The fifth exercise encourages the child to think what the blue bird in the story symbolises.
