Talking with Children about Death with Marie Antoinette Kelley
Manage episode 377838347 series 1918775
Marie Antoinette Kelley has spent a LOT of time thinking about death. Not only the process of dying, but what happens to 'us' when we die. As she asks these big questions, she has also considered how children think about and process death. Danny’s Day in Heaven is Marie Antoinette's beautifully illustrated children’s book that follows a young boy through his near-death experience to heaven and back, a happy ending helps to open the conversation between children and adults about what happens when we die. Inspired by Dannion Brinkley's Saved by the Light and backed by research, this book is a spirit led project. Marie Antoinette Kelley is an award-winning artist who has done hundreds of commissioned portraits and art for the Angel Quest Oracle. She has appeared on dozens of TV, radio, and podcast shows and has been published in such magazines as Edge and Authority. In 2019, her bison portrait in the form of woven blankets began selling throughout Yellowstone National Park's general stores. Today, Marie Antoinette comes to us as the author of Danny's Day in Heaven. Marie Antoinette dispels children's fears about the seeming finality of death by providing comfort and reassurance that life goes on through her transcendent illustrations and storytelling in this new book.
