Some of our most difficult times involve separation from a loved one. Separations due to divorce, military deployment, isolation, or death can have adverse effects on our feelings and emotions, especially in children and teens. In A Beastly Kind of Love, a newly-orphaned and wounded little bird experiences fear, loneliness, anger, and failure. But Love speaks and takes the form of a gentle beast to help the little bird, and readers, overcome and keep moving forward. A Beastly Kind of Love is also an activity book. Pictures or words may be added to spaces within the story and at the end of the story to make the book a personalized keepsake celebrating one or a group of loved ones.
