Announcement
We are pleased to announce that in collaboration with Melissa Brymer from the National Center of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, we have developed a new free Trinka and Sam story to help young children and families talk about their experiences and feelings related to COVID-19 and the need to shelter in place. In the story, the virus has spread to Littletown causing changes in everyone's lives. We hope the story helps children and families talk about family and community strengths, challenges and feelings related to COVID-19, ways grown-ups help children keep safe, and our gratitude for frontline workers.
The story includes a coloring book, a booklet of common questions children may ask, and a parent guide.

Coming this Fall
Meet Ellie Bean, the newest member of the Piplo Productions family. Ellie Bean is a young child in foster care whose caregivers are not able to take care of her. In her first story, MAMA'S WAVES, Miss K and Uncle Finny are there to support her, to help her make meaning of why her mama is not with her, to acknowledge difficult feelings, and to help her hold on to beautiful loving memories, so they don't get washed away by the waves. Mama's Waves will launch Fall of 2020.
