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, When You Lived in My Belly (about a baby and mother's journey from conception to birth, which we talked about on the Mother's Day Episode 56. ) and Goodnight Star, Whoever You Are (which addresses childhood grief). Goodnight Star, Whoever You Are 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!
