It can be painful for kids to be separated from their parents or families and for younger children, it may be hard to understand what’s happening to them and around them.
A new children’s book called The Watchful Owl tells the story of a young fox that loses his parents and lives with another animal family.
It was written by Heather Paterno, an attorney who focuses on families and children’s issues and is a board member of Dauphin County’s Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children or CASA. The artwork in the The Watchful Owl also tells the story and will keep kids’ attention. It’s illustrated by artist P.D. Murray. Both Heather Paterno and P.D. Murray were with us on The Spark Wednesday.
