There are so many milestones that occur in every child's life, and so many parents who are unsure how to approach heavy topics with their little ones. So I brought in an expert who will hopefully be the next wave of Dr. Seuss stories.
My guest today is Ken Rohlf. Ken went from lawyer to children's book author after he realized how hard it would be to talk about his wife, who had passed, with his unborn grandson. I think everyone has these people in their life; the people you wish would be around to meet your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc. But Ken saw the need to ease these discussions, and now works on children's books that work just as well for the adult reading them.
