Erin Blechman’s raw and polished labor-of-love of a book will be a helpful resource for so many.
The book is beautiful in its honesty and beautifully illustrated. It’s proof of the author’s compassion for others. It makes so clear to readers what it was to live through a time no one wants to walk through. A really unique gift to the world.
