Critique: Original, fun, and with a special value for children ages 8-11 with reference to animal (and by inference, kids) disabilities and the importance self-esteem, “What Happened to Chester?: An En-deer-ing Tale of Hope and Healing” is an especially recommended addition to family, elementary school, and community library picture book collections.

About this Chapbook...


We have all lost a dear one at some point in our
lives. Grief, depending on the relationship with the
one deceased, affects us differently. I feel my Dada
and Mausi's absence every single day for disparate
reasons. But these two losses have taught me that
their time had come. And that life is about celebrating
those alive and not just mourning those who
have moved on. Optimism and faith are the keys to
overcoming the roadblocks life puts in our way.


This book tries to state that there is always hope for
anyone coping with grief. No one can tell us exactly
how; the voyage has to be undertaken by each of us
individually.
