Merin and Her Very Bright Star by Lori Mier
Merin and Her Very Bright Star by Lori Mier

When Lori Mier was 3 years old, she was in a devastating car accident with her parents who both lost their lives. As she struggled with grief and resilience as a child, she found hope in talking to a star. Now as an adult, Lori has written a children’s book called Merin and Her Very Bright Star in hopes of teaching children how to be resilient and how to cope with loss.
