Helping Children Deal With Loss
First Guest - Megan Prescott. In her own life Megan found it difficult to adequately express all the complex emotions surrounding her loss of her mother and brother and she recognized that for young people this could be even more difficult. Megan made it her mission to write a book that children of all ages could use as a vehicle to have a deeper conversation about life and death. Also in having characters that children can relate to in the Narrator and Squirrel, it can help them feel more understood and less alone.
