Julia Cook, M.S. is a national award-winning children's author, counselor, and parenting expert. She has presented in thousands of schools nationally and internationally, regularly speaks at education and counseling conferences, and has published children's books on a wide range of character and social development topics. The goal behind Cook's work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem solvers. Inspiration for her books comes from working with children and carefully listening to counselors, parents, and teachers, in order to stay on top of needs in the classroom and at home. Cook has the innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving children both the "what to say" and the "how to say it."
The death of a loved one can have a lasting, major impact on a
child due to limited life experiences on which to draw. This
storybook by Julia Cook is an excellent resource for people to help
children of all ages talk about their feelings and fears, along
with providing guidance in answering difficult questions related to
death and dying.Dave Opalewski
