The Power Is Within Us. Therapeutic fairy tales for children and their parents is a book written to support families in coping with the challenges of everyday life. The authors, Kamila Zdanowicz-Kucharczyk together with a group of teachers and mothers, have created a collection of stories that help children understand and express their emotions. These fairy tales are an excellent tool for building a sense of security and understanding in family relationships.

The book is structured in such a way that children can use it together with their parents and teachers. By taking care of the child's sense of security, helping him understand the meaning of the story and its therapeutic dimension, caregivers can choose the appropriate fairy tale and work through it together with the child. Children, depending on their age and reading abilities, can try to read the fairy tale on their own. It will be fun for them and a way to practice their reading skills, but they are not able to undergo the therapeutic process themselves. Therapy can only take place with the help of an adult. Therefore, it is so important that a parent or teacher and the child delve into the text of the therapeutic fairy tale together.

The book contains chapters that are an introduction to fairy tale therapy. They address the issues related to the importance of fairy tales in the life of every human being. The authors also formulate practical advice on how to use fairy tale therapy, what conditions to ensure for it to be effective, and how to write fairy tales yourself. I characterize the figure of a fairy tale therapist to encourage parents and children to write fairy tales, and above all to give parents faith in their own abilities - they can be not only the best caregivers for their children, but also fairy tale therapists. The development of this methodical introduction are the tips contained in each fairy tale. The person reading the fairy tale can find out from them in what situations to choose it (when do we read?), what it can help the child with (helps with ...) and how to continue the story after reading it (let's stay in this story through ...).
