Overview
The Hello
What happens when something doesn't feel right-but you don't know how to explain it?
Jim is a young boy beginning to experience something he doesn't understand. When he looks into the mirror, he encounters Jim Bob, a voice and presence he experiences as a separate person.
At first, Jim doesn't know what to make of these encounters. He becomes frustrated, confused, and overwhelmed as he tries to understand what is happening to him. But eventually, Jim takes an important step: he tells his mother.
With his mother's support, Jim begins the process of getting help and learning that he doesn't have to face confusing or frightening experiences alone.The Hello is a contemporary realistic fiction story created to bring attention to a disorder that is often misunderstood. Through Jim's experience, the book encourages children to speak up when something doesn't feel right and reminds parents and caregivers to listen when a child shares something they don't understand.The book also provides an important message for parents and caregivers: an imaginary friend by itself does not mean a child has dissociative identity disorder (DID). Concerning or persistent experiences accompanied by significant distress or changes in behavior, memory, or everyday functioning should be discussed with a qualified professional.
The Hello is ultimately a story about awareness, courage, understanding, and the importance of speaking up before a child has to face something difficult alone.
