When Linda Galante’s son, Michael, died suddenly at the tender age of twenty two, she was devastated. To cope with her immense grief, Linda started writing letters to Michael. These inspiring letters, which include several to her daughter, Lauren, and a few others, along with several poems that Michael had written as a child, helped her to sort out her feelings and became a source of comfort and healing. Still Warmed by Your Love is not only a mother’s reflections after the death of her only son, but also a reminder that letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. Rather, this book is about finding acceptance; recognizing that healing, like everything else, is a choice; and never losing hope that each day brings the opportunity for endless possibilities. After all, as Linda believes, even during tough times we should still “take time to appreciate the small gifts that surround us: the rising sun, the beautiful cloud formations, a pretty flower, or the smile of a child.”

Presents a guide to nearly 27,000 children's oicture book titles grouped in over 1,200 subjects and indexed by author, title, and illustrator.
