Description: Kelsey Lizee Cecil on losing both parents and publishing Rally Takes the Train, the children's book her mom always wanted to write.

Talking to kids about grandparents who died before they could meet them works best when it starts early and stays simple: use the word died, share real stories, and let your child feel sad that they missed out. Your kids lost someone who would have adored them. You can help them know that person anyway.
