About the Book

If you find a giant diamond, are you as valuable as a giant diamond? A young boy hopes so! His sister "does everything great," but he himself struggles to do his spelling, remember his homework, and find someone to play with. Even worse, his mother wants him to clean his room! So while his family sleeps, he does what he loves most--rock hunting, with hopes of finding a giant diamond. He thinks that maybe, if he finds a giant diamond, he will be important and valuable. The boy and his old dog step out the door in rural coastal Maine and the journey begins. He is knowledgeable and curious about his environment, finding all kinds of treasures. As he wanders, we hear about his hopes, his losses, his challenges, and most of all his joy in the natural world. This story illustrates the inner life of a young boy who has feelings that even older children and adults might find familiar. Don't we all want to know we're important and valued? His curious mind, his freedom in nature, and the power of loving relationships lead the way to his most important discovery. Parents, teachers, and therapists will find this book a gentle and beautiful way to engage children in conversations about their hopes and dreams as well as their losses and struggles. This book beckons children and their parents away from their screens and back into connection with nature.

About the Author :
Dr. Duffy is a psychologist, play therapist, and therapeutic storyteller. She lives in rural coastal Maine with her husband, two diamond hunters, and a flock of chickens. Finding Diamonds is her first picture book. Most of Dr. Duffy's therapeutic stories are written for the "theater" of the sandtray. This approach to storytelling gives children the chance to play with the story. She developed an 8-step approach to using stories in the sandtray called the Moving Stories Play Therapy Method. The approach with individual children is described in Cathy Malchiodi's (editor) book, Creative Arts Therapy with Traumatized Children. Using Moving Stories with groups can be found in Stephanie Brooke and Charles E. Myers (editors) book, The Use of Creative Therapies in Treating Depression. Dr. Duffy's therapeutic Moving Stories are available for download in the By The Sea Seminars Therapeutic Story Library. Dr. Duffy works with the Passamaquoddy tribe in Maine, providing outpatient therapy, assessments, and consultation for Head Start and schools. She is founder of By The Sea Seminars and enjoys presenting.

Review :
"With Finding Diamonds, Sue Carroll Duffy artfully captures the unbridled enthusiasm of youth, and the magic of outdoor adventures. All children need abundant time in nearby nature, and today there are all too few books to encourage youngsters to make their own outdoor discoveries. Duffy's book is a delightful exception to this trend, one that will undoubtedly inspire many children to seek out such wild experiences!" -- Scott D. Sampson, Ph.D. Author of How to Raise a Wild Child: The Art and Science of Falling in Love with Nature. Host and Science Advisor of PBS Kids' Dinosaur Train "Finding Diamonds helps children talk about their hopes and dreams, as well as difficult feelings such as loss, feeling left out, and having a sibling who seems to do everything 'great.' It is a story of discovery and love, the foundations of self-esteem. Parents, teachers, and therapists will add this book to their 'feelings toolbox.'" -- Liana Lowenstein, MSW, Author of Creative Interventions for Troubled Children and Youth "Author Sue Carroll Duffy and illustrator J. Woodruff Carroll are a dynamic mother-and-daughter team whose talents meld together perfectly. They have created a children's book that is about a joyful quest to attain what is most precious. Exuberant spirit and vivid illustrations make Finding Diamonds a heartwarming celebration of family and loving acceptance." -- Sherry Reiter, PhD, LCSW, Director of The Creative Righting Center "In an era full of digital distractions and busy schedules, this book beautifully reminds us of the importance of connecting children to nature. The natural world is full of diamonds--we just need to take time to look." -- Scott Fraser, Outdoor Educator
