I am a little teary here as I lost my sister at a young age to a house fire. I remember those first times you laugh afterward and you are almost ashamed. It feels so wrong. A book like this at a time that my mom was hurting so badly too that she could not always console me would have been something good. A great interview.

The fact that the author was able to step back in order to write something that will no doubt help many others is a testomony to her strength and fortitude.

I met Jean briefly at the Rutgers University Council on Children's Literature conference last year. I did not know about her debut picture book or the story behind it. I'm both saddened and thrilled at the same time. Thank you for sharing your story, Jean. This kind of book is definitely needed and will be a help to so many families. Brava! Wonderful interview.
