Some kind words...
"A beautiful, gentle resource — exactly what families need during one of life's hardest moments."
Sarah M., Parent
"My daughter asked to read this every night for a week after we lost her grandfather. It gave her the words she didn't have — and gave us the conversations we needed to have together."
The Thompson Family
"Grandpa's Star handles such a difficult topic with incredible tenderness. As a grief counsellor, I recommend it without hesitation to every family I work with who has young children."
