Growing Wings

Losing a pet or loved one is traumatic and overwhelming. During a loss, children need a safe place to express how they feel and process emotions. Growing Wings offers the experience of a child’s journey in the excitement of making a new friend, and the pain when this loved one leaves for any reason. Kim Crawford helps to normalize emotions and offer meaning to relationships as she concludes, “Now I know that life is full of change and new beginnings. Just because someone leaves does not mean there is an ending. People and pets leave love forever in our hearts, whether they are near or we are apart. Life is full of people, places, and new things. Life is all about growing our very own wings.”

The little girl in Growing Wings is illustrated in the likeness of Kim’s granddaughter, Lily Mae, who is growing beautiful wings.
