Mum's Jumper is "a simple, heartfelt and ultimately uplifting book for anyone coping with loss" (https://www.bookisland.co.uk/products/mums-jumper)
We talk with the book's author & illustrator, Jayde Perkin, and publisher, Greet Pauwelijn.
We talked about how they created the book, the public’s response to it, and the power of books to process grief and start difficult conversations.
They also discussed personal experiences of dealing with grief, sharing some useful tips & reflections, as well as some book recommendations.
