Press Release Summary: Single mom and suicide survivor publishes children\'s book
that helps kids cope with the loss of a loved one.

Press Release Body:
Maricopa, AZ, January 22, 2008 -- Have you or your children ever lost someone close
to you? Have you ever had to explain these difficult aspects of death and grief to
your kids or to yourself? Have your children lost a grandparent, parent, sibling or
friend? Have you ever considered what to say or how to bring comfort to your family
during a difficult loss?

Longtime Maricopa resident and children's author Laura Olivieri recently published a
book with just that purpose. Where Are You? A Child's Book about Loss is a simply
written, compassionate text with beautiful illustrations, suitable for not only the
youngest children but for people of all ages. It is a truly inspired work that
brings simple, honest, and compassionate answers when coping with this most
universal subject.

Ms. Olivieri, a survivor of suicide, knows first hand the challenges parents face
when they and their children have to cope with such loss. "I didn't sit down to
write a children's book one day." She says, adding, "I wrote it to answer a real
question my son asked. I wrote it for him." She stresses that children ask questions
to help themselves process and understand concepts. It is her ongoing wish that this
book can now bring comfort and kindness to others.

Where Are You? A Child's Book about Loss is published through Lulu.com, a self
