Mr. Val S. Helmer

Aspiring Author of Children's Literature

I am a retired elementary school guidance counselor with 30 years of experience.  One of the most difficult and challenging areas of counseling is dealing with children and grief.  Children grieve very differently than adults. There is a dearth of books written specifically for children with an understanding of those differences.  I hope my knowledge and experience dealing with their unique perspective will contribute to the field.
