Episode 78: Books for Childhood Grief with Jodi Meltzer

<p>On this week's dose of book recommendations, library love, and literary enthusiasm, our Library Laura Podcast guest is Jodi Meltzer. Jodi is the award-winning author of two children's books, <a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/2982/9781543960310">When You Lived in My Belly </a>(about a baby and mother's journey from conception to birth, which we talked about on the Mother's Day <a href= "https://www.librarylaurapodcast.com/2021/05/episode-56-lets-celebrate-mothers-day.html">Episode 56. </a>) and <a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/2982/9781645438977">Goodnight Star, Whoever You Are </a>(which addresses childhood grief). <em>Goodnight Star, Whoever You Are</em> helps kids cope with grief, loss, and longing in an enchanting way, sparking meaningful conversations about the everlasting power of love. Jodi is also a prolific blogger (especially about parenting, divorce, and grief) with a journalism background. We also chat about what middle grade books her son Alex might enjoy reading since he liked my recommendations so much last time! </p> <p>Keep in touch with Jodi Meltzer on <a href= "https://twitter.com/JodiMeltzer">Twitter</a>, <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/jodimeltzer/">Instagram</a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jodimeltzerauthor">Facebook</a>, or visit her <a href= "http://jodimeltzer.com/">website</a>. </p> <p>Preorder <a href= "https://bookshop.org/a/2982/9781645438977">Goodnight Star, Whoever You Are</a> before October 26th! </p> <p><a href= "https://bookshop.org/lists/books-for-childhood-grief-with-jodi-meltzer-episode-78"> Books from today's episode are on the Library Laura storefront on bookshop.org</a></p> <p>Follow the Library Laura Podcast on <a href= "http://www.instagram.com/librarylaurapodcast">Instagram</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/librarylaurapodcast">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/librarylaurapod">Twitter</a>, and on the <a href= "https://www.librarylaurapodcast.com/2021/10/episode-78-books-for-childhood-grief.html"> Podcast Blog</a>. </p>
