Feature Article: Writing About Death and Loss for Children

I had the honor of writing a feature article for the most recent edition of SCBWI-Illinois’ Prairie Wind newsletter. The article, entitled Writing about Death and Loss for Children, explores why I feel it’s important to address difficult topic in children’s literature and offers a first-hand look at my inspiration and process for writing DEAR STAR BABY.
