For those of any age who have suffered loss, here is a journey of brilliant color to bring you peace.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beloved author and artist Roger Hutchison<\/a> has created a picture book to guide readers through different emotions and reactions related to grieving. The gentle text and illustrations of this lushly colored picture book explore feelings of shock, tears, anger, and hope, using the powerful language and experience of color. My Favorite Color is Blue. Sometimes<\/a>. is a welcome companion to people of all ages as they journey through loss and grief.<\/p>\n

Following the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, Roger had the privilege of painting with children and adults who were touched by this tragic event. The experience affected him at a cellular level and convinced him of a vocation to serve those who grieve using his writing and art.<\/p>\n
