Callen Crow and the Night of Many Feelings
Callen Crow carries sadness, anger, fear, missing, and love after someone he cared about has died. With Aydin beside him, he finds room for many feelings and places one plain feather on the listening stump as a small place for love to visit.
Callen Crow has many feelings after someone he loved has died. Some feelings feel loud, some quiet, some sharp, some soft, and none of them arrive in a neat order. At silver twilight, Aydin Caracara stays beside him as they move through the firefly field, the low hill, and the listening stump. This Tender Times in the Family story does not name a specific person, does not explain death in graphic detail, and does not require Callen to feel better by the end. Instead, it offers children emotional companionship, gentle language for grief, and the reassuring truth that love can remain even when a life has ended.
