I want to start off saying that I really enjoyed reading this book and it has opened my eyes to what play therapy can do for a child. When I first started to read this book, I was very invested in Dibs and what was going on with him. At first, I thought that he might have had a disability and that is why he was doing what he was doing. Then after a while, I thought that he was being abused and the abuse caused him to isolate into himself. However, I was very encouraged that the teachers wanted to help him and they never gave up on him. When Ms. Axline first took Dibs to the play room, I was happy to see that he took her hand and walked with her. I am sure that it took a lot for him to trust her even with this small task. To me, that was hope
