Helping children to grieve in a culture that is uncomfortable with loss can be a difficult task. That's why it's so important that parents and the other important people in children's lives have resources to help. Still Mine faces loss directly while encouraging young children to keep those they've lost alive by remembering what they used to do together and honoring their love. What brings an author to write about grief in a picture book? What can we share about helping young children understand death? And how might that change their lives for the better going forward. Jayne Pillemer, author of Still Mine, has some answers.
