Bo-Peep is My Name is an illustrated children's novel about an abused runaway dog's heartening journey to find a new home. The story serves as a metaphor for the consequences of abuse that victims suffer, including anxiety, traumatic recollections, distrust and loss of self-esteem. The book is written for elementary level readers but is intended for all ages, especially those who may be recovering from trauma. Clinicians may find it useful as a bibliotherapy tool. It is also an encouraging story for animal lovers of all kinds, particularly those involved with the rescue and rehabilitation of abused animals. The book features charming original illustrations by Tami Boyce.
