Bedtime Story: Chloe Hooper in Conversation
When Chloe Hooper’s partner was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive illness, she had to find a way to tell their two young sons. Instinctively, she turned to books. Can the news be broken as a bedtime tale? Is there a perfect book to prepare children for loss?
