You guys!! The THIRD book in the ABCs of Grief series is Here!!!
This book was, by far, my favorite to illustrate and I’m overflowing with excitement that she’s out in the world. This is the last book of the series, so with the excitement comes a bit of sadness. I’ve been working on these books since Leonora was cozied up and kicking away in my belly. Now she’s 2 and forming opinions, interests, and full sentences. These books have been with me for so long, it’s truly bittersweet to say goodbye, and I’m so grateful that the author, Jessica Correnti of kidsgriefsupport picked me to illustrate them.
If you are new here, I illustrated the first and second book of this series, geared toward helping little ones (and big ones alike) understand grief and navigate their emotions and feelings. The first book is a broad view of grief. The second book dives deep into all of the emotions and feelings that you can have while grieving. The third book, The ABCs of Grief: Coping, is all about learning to cope and continue with life while still holding space for grief. Sometimes that means finding ways to escape, finding hobbies, and sometimes it’s finding ways to remember, like lighting candles and letting lanterns off in the air.
I can’t wait for little hands and minds to hold and take in this book. Jessica’s words have brought such a gift to the world, and I can’t wait for you to hold these books yourself!
