I knew Corey for about 12 years. I visited him in the hospital almost every one of those 50 days. I saw all his friends posting get well videos to him on Facebook. When Corey died, my heart broke for them and for me. I wondered how these young adults would find the grief support they needed, so I went to the library and bookstores but everything I found was too childish or way too many words. So I decided I would write the book I could not find. I hope it helps young people.
I miss Corey every day and talk to him in my mind.
About me: I have been a speech-language pathologist (SLP) for over 23 years, helping young children understand and use words to express their amazing thoughts and feelings. These young people have taught me so much as we've played together and read together. I plan to use what they've shared with me to make books that help them and delight them. If you have ideas for books you'd like me to write, please email me, hichris@levelupbooks.xyz
