The Sun and the Sad House
Robyn Te Paiho
A counsellor writes ...
This illustrator and counsellor wanted to tell the story of her journey with grief in a way that would bring encouragement to others on similar journeys. Her 32 page book - illustrated by herself - tells the story of 2 caterpillars who were the best of friends. One day one of them isn't there any more, and the one that's left disappears into a cocoon for a long time. But in the darkness she is always aware of the sun, and eventually she emerges to find she has grown wings and is now able to fly. The author wanted to self-publish and is able to distribute personally through her own networks. The book is her first and the message is,"Take all the time you need." Purchase The Sun and the Sad House online at RealNZBooks or through the author.
A Life Set Free
Suzanne Adams
Staying free
An experienced counsellor's handbook for her clients about how to get free and how to stay free, drawn from 40 years of counselling practice. 75 pages. Cover Design by Briar's Books. An A5 format suited this book, and because its style was warm and informal we moved away from the academic "serif" font to a non-serif and gave it an accessible and spacious layout.
Craving for Love
Understanding homosexuality
This book has been translated into Korean and Turkish and is currently being translated into Thai. Over 300 pages with some diagrams but mainly text. Recognised as a classic among those who want out of homosexuality and people who want to understand what homosexuality actually is. The book was dropped by traditional UK publishers after two print runs and the author decided to self-publish. Found here: https://cravingforlove.nz It was also turned into a Kindle e-book. This is a third edition to meet demand and was given a change of cover for the occasion.
