“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

I think it's a beautiful distillation of what it means to be alive and to be here. 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.”
