This book is meant for Children:
The first section of this book is an illustrated children's book. This is designed to be read with the child by a caring adult in their life - parent, caregiver, counselor, etc. This book aims to normalize the feelings connected to grief, which are sometimes surprising to both the child and the family.

This book is meant for Caregivers:
The second section of this book is meant for caregivers. This is a generic term that can refer to a parent, a grandparent, a foster parent, and numerous other loved ones that might be taking care of the child/youth. This section covers common emotions experienced during grief, how grief can present during different developmental stages (based on age), and activities that can aid in healing and the connection between caregiver and youth. This section is written in adult language, but all the concepts can be discussed between the caregiver and youth in developmentally appropriate language.

This book is meant for Counselors:
The third section of this book is meant for counselors. The word counselors is being used in a broad term to include Master's level practitioners in roles such as: school counselors, therapists in community roles and those licensed in private practice. This section covers important conversations or concepts connected to the treatment of caregivers and youth. It also briefly describes theories or tools that might be a good place to start with youth in treatment. Finally, there are therapeutic activities which have been used successfully in practice to help create youth and family healing.

I am a Senior Instructor at Colorado State University in the School of Social Work. I had the pleasure of working in mental health and child welfare for 20 years before becoming an educator. I currently teach in courses around social justice, policy, and clinical work. I identify as a proud Mexican cis woman, non-disabled, spiritual, heterosexual and middle class. It is important that I situate myself and my bias (which I continue to work on) when writing this textbook, as the book reflects social justice values and discusses policies connected to oppressed identities in the United States.

This book also incorporates the voices of others in two key ways to highlight social justice perspectives: (1) it features four stories from individuals directly affected by the policy areas explored in different chapters, and (2) it includes four co-authored chapters with experts who bring valuable content knowledge.
