Take time, and reflect on my story of how life ebbs and flows." Periwinkle's Purpose "Periwinkle's Purpose is well written and beautifully illustrated. It teaches children about the cycle of life and death in a gentle and age-appropriate way. I like that the author includes the immortality of spirit and makes the concept an easy one to understand. It's also a wonderful book for adults! I highly recommend it for any family's library." - Grief Coach and Educator "Heartbreakingly beautiful - I am not entirely sure this book just for kids.

I would highly recommend this book for people seeking a dose of connection to the here and now. The illustrations bring forth a dream like quality that complement the words perfectly."
