Autorenporträt
After thirteen years of using picture books as teaching tools to promote fruitful discussions with captivated audiences of elementary students, Dana is thrilled to debut her own! She was inspired to write this book when her beloved dog of fifteen years passed, and she struggled to find a relevant picture book that was easily relatable and that fostered dialogue with her daughters regarding death. She hopes that Celebrating Bentley will support families through the grieving process and encourage the discussion of feelings. Dana has two emotional support dogs who regularly spread joy and love to residents at the local nursing home. She lives in Connecticut with her two daughters and three dogs.
