Love lives on forever.
Henry and his mom feel Grandpa's love in all his special places: in the rocking chair where he read stories with silly voices, in the cucumbers that always made him hiccup, and in the jewelry box he used to wind up so they could dance. As they remember the many loving moments they shared, they work through their grief.
Remembering Sundays with Grandpa illustrates how even when someone is no longer part of the physical world, their love lives on forever.
REMEMBERING SUNDAYS WITH GRANDPA (Illustrated by Nanette Regan/Beaming Books) danced its way to shelves on November 7, 2023. It is available wherever books are sold.
"In her recently released book, Remembering Sundays with Grandpa, Lauren Kerstein approaches the heavy topic of loss in a light, fresh and child-friendly manner. This book is appropriate for children ages 3 - 8. It can be helpful in addressing any kind of grief, whether it be a grandparent, a friend, a pet, or even a separation as in foster care or adoption. Lauren touches on many important points in dealing with a grieving child that I strongly support and promote as a therapist."

Is this a place Calvin can call home for a while?
Calvin is in foster care, and he wants to trust someone, anyone, but is afraid to open his heart. He has lived in a lot of houses, but he still hasn’t found his home. When he moves in with Maggie, she shows him respect, offers him kindness, and makes him see things in himself that he’s never noticed before. Maybe this isn’t just another house, maybe this is a place Calvin can call home, for a while.
HOME FOR A WHILE (Illustrated by Natalia Moore/Magination Press) moved into bookshelves February 2, 2021. It is is available wherever books are sold.
**STARRED REVIEW**
"takes apart the fostering experience as few books have-from the newcomer’s point of view...VERDICT Most books with this much purpose fall down on the lessons. This one transcends them, for a true story of how a home happens."
— School Library Journal
"...the book is as much a model for foster parents as it is a story to provide validation of foster children’s experiences...Gentle and wise—especially as a read for foster parents."
—Kirkus Reviews

"This humorous story is a sweet representation of caretaking and patience, with a parallel that can extend to older and younger siblings as well as to parent-child relationships, perhaps making young readers a bit more self-reflective and empathetic."

“The digital illustrations are bright, playful, and attractive, well suited to the story…There are some young dragon lovers and fans of mischief who will revel in this silly romp.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Kerstein’s playful story about friendship, patience, and responsibility for a pet is nicely matched by Wragg’s bold, colorful illustrations, rendered in blocky shapes and a vivid color palette. New pet owners are the natural choice for this one, but kids with younger siblings might appreciate it, too.”
