In this episode, I got to speak to Matthew Burgess who is a children's book author based out of Brooklyn, NY. In 2023, he published Sylvester's Letter a book that covers childhood grief. Matthew and I had a great conversation on how books such as the one he recently wrote play a huge part in developing children's sense of grief and overall emotion. We also spoke on what goes into making a book about grief for kids, something that requires a lot of self-reflection by the author.
