The book is purposefully designed with sensory processing in mind. The images and colors on the pages of the book will soothe an already anxious reader. The words are deliberately crafted to be trauma-sensitive to the ears of children impacted by adversity.
Sullivan and Grandma give a voice to the 2.8 million (and rapidly growing) Grandfamilies in the U.S. who are struggling to find peace within their heart after the devastating separation from a parent due to addiction, neglect, abuse, abandonment, incarceration, or untreated mental health challenges.
