Today we spoke to Jewel Sample, and she told us about her children’s book Flying Hugs and Kisses, and about how to write about death for children.Here’s more from her website:

About The BookFlying Hugs and Kisses is about five children who creatively take on roles of support toward each other while showing their individual feelings about the death of their baby brother. This sensitive story of grief recovery is a great resource for parents to use to help their children understand and affirm their experience of the loss of a brother or sister.
