[02:23] Check out the full show notes  (https://www.drdianeadventures.com/pos...) for details about the origins of Calling the Wind (https://bookshop.org/a/86538/97805934...) , a picture book about grief, loss, and hope illustrated by Kathryn Otosh (http://www.kokidsbooks.com/kositeh.html) i.
We wanted the wind to actually be a character in the story representing grief, personified by the intensity of the wind. It ebbs and flows, comes and goes, and it's always there with you.  I felt that kids really needed to have a story to help them understand grief and the grieving process, because in our Western culture, we really don't do a good job addressing grief. And I thought this would be a beautiful vehicle..to show the power of human connection and the process of healing in our grief.
