When children experience loss, whether a family member, friend, or even a beloved toy, our instinct is to protect them from pain, so we don’t discuss it or prepare them.

But pain and confusion aren’t going away—they’re part of life. In fact, one of the best ways we can help kids through grief and change is to encourage them to express their emotions.

Tiffany Papageorge has written a book to help children open up and heal through the power of story.

Hear Tiffany talk with Kristen White about her latest book, My Yellow Balloon (a Mom’s Choice Gold Award winner), a poignant tale of love, loss and letting go.
