What People Are Saying
“Your book is a gift to me because the story opens a door for dialogue with parents and families. It speaks to them parent to parent, not social worker to parent…and while each child and family is unique, it also lets them know that there is someone else in the world who truly understands. Your book is a beautiful legacy and you are helping others along their own personal journeys more than you can possibly know. I am so grateful for your help in this work.”
— Felicia M. Hunter, BSW, Albany Medical Center
***** Great Book to Help Children (Amazon)
“The Child Life Specialist at Children's Hospital read this book to my 6 year old after her baby brother died in the NICU. His life was short (19 days) but precious to us, and this book was perfect to help her understand his death and celebrate the time we had with him. I loved it so much, I had to buy one for home, which is good because she still picks it up and asks me to read it to her often. Grief is a long process and it is helping her, and me, a great deal.”

***** Required Reading (Amazon)
“Beautifully written, easily read. If everyone would read and understand this, and act it, this would be a much happier, educated society. ”
— Nadine S. Nygren
“The most amazing children's book I have ever read, and I can never get through it without crying both tears of sadness and overwhelming joy. I encourage any parent to obtain and read this book over and over.”
— Anita Birk, Mom of Owen and Founder of Mommies of Miracles
