🎧 This Week on The Bible for Kids Podcast:

Helping Kids Navigate Grief with Jana Jackson — The Good for Nothing Puddle

In this heartfelt episode, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer sit down with author Jana Jackson to discuss her powerful new picture book, The Good for Nothing Puddle — a beautifully illustrated story that gently introduces young children to the concept of grief and emotional healing.

Written for children ages 4–8 and their families, The Good for Nothing Puddle follows a little girl burdened by a mysterious puddle of tears after experiencing loss. Along her journey, she meets a puppy, a farmer, and an artist who help her see that her “good for nothing” puddle may actually hold unexpected beauty and meaning.

📚 In this episode, you'll discover:

  • How storytelling helps children process grief
  • The importance of emotional expression in early childhood
  • Why The Good for Nothing Puddle is a must-have resource for families, counselors, therapists, and church communities
  • Jana’s personal journey of loss and how it inspired the book

This book is a thoughtful tool for anyone walking children through sadness, loss, or emotional confusion. With glowing endorsements from Christian counselors and relatable spiritual insight, The Good for Nothing Puddle offers hope and healing on every page.

✨ Whether you're a parent, pastor, preschool teacher, or therapist, this episode will equip you with wisdom and encouragement to support the little ones in your life.
