Something I hope no child ever needs.

The Healing Chickadee is something I hope no child ever needs.  However, if they do, I'm am honored to provide it.   I was the grieving child.  I was ten years old when my sixteen year old brother died after a brief and sudden illness.  My world crumbled.  It seemed the color of the sky changed.  Nothing was "normal" ever again.

Our family struggled to regain joy and laughter.  My emotions were scattered and often frightening.  As I've grown older, I have learned how to reach back to comfort the grieving child that I was, and in some ways, still am.

 I wrote The Healing Chickadee from the heart of the child who was in so much pain.  It is from that place that I am able to reach other children who may be experiencing something similar.

To create the program I had the assistance of a licensed psychotherapist, specializing in trauma. We were able to find activities, projects, stories and inspirational words to help families communicate.  Our hope is that in the sharing of experiences, quiet time together and giving children a wide and safe berth to explore their feelings, the family will return to serenity.

That is my motivation for creating the Chickadee.  I hope The Tweet-Hearts become friends of your family!
Allow Mother Nature to Nurture you!

Introducing....our girl...The Healing Chickadee!

At Word Bird Delivers we celebrate vocabulary. We understand that empowering children

 with a full, rich and diverse vocabulary is a gift that will last them a lifetime.

Every word we define, every story we tell, and every bird that flies from our workshop, 

carries our values and dreams. Our hope is that every child has a life filled with opportunity, curiosity and success. 

 We endeavor to bring children the awesome power of communication.

It all starts with words.

The Chickadee is here to help grieving children!
