Penny and the Land of Grief

Penny and the Land of Grief is a children’s book that describes the five stages of grief as cities that you travel through. Grief is not a linear process, regardless of what we like to believe. You can spend a long time in anger, or bounce between depression and denial. But regardless of what “city” you’re in, the end of that journey is always going to be acceptance. I wanted to be able to provide both children and adults with the language that we sometimes find ourselves lacking when are going through hard times, such as the death of a family member, the loss of our home, or the end of a friendship.
