'Most recently, Nancy Bo Flood's powerful picture book, Walking Grandma Home: A story of grief, hope and healing, has found its place on my shelf. Nancy is that most unusual writer, a child psychologist and counselor who can both embrace her training and move through it to embrace the heart of a story. I say 'move through it' because I have seen over the years how difficult it can be for mental health professionals to set aside all they have been taught to feel a story at its core. Walking Grandma Home is felt. Deeply. Simply. Honestly. And it is written as it is felt. Deeply. Simply. Honestly. A page of suggestions for the adults accompanying a child's experience of death carries those qualities, too.'
