Beth Tyson is a therapist, coach, author, speaker & mom. She wrote an wonderful book about grandfamilies that captured my heart. It is called A Grandfamily for Sullivan. Beth shares a book talk and a reading of this wonderful story in the Youtube link below!
Sullivan is an orphaned koala who is facing BIG emotions when his life suddenly turns upside down! He goes to live with Grandma when his parents are unable to keep him safe. Together they struggle to navigate a new life… Until they meet a wise friend at the park, who helps them shift their cloudy day to clear skies.
Here is a link to the original blog post that Beth shared with the readers of this blog in January of 2020. That certainly feels like it was a long time ago, given all that has happened. Stay well and safe everyone!
