Other announcement on March 8, 2014

I have just published a fictional picture book for children who have lost someone important as a result of incomprehensible violence. Told from the point on view of a preschool child, it is based on the Twin Towers attacks on 9/11. The book has been praised by Helen Fitzgerald, author of “The Grieving Child,” and considered the foremost authority in the nation on childhood grief. The book is based on my work as a children’s grief counselor with Mrs. Fitzgerald for three age-specific groups. It is my hope to get the book into the hands of any child who may need it; there seem to be any number of uses for it when we see some mass shooting that affects child survivors in the news every few weeks in this nation. Please let me know if you would like a press release or review copy. A book trailer may be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljDLZmyN3XE. Thank you.
