After having two miscarriages and losing both of her grandmothers in a span of 4 months, Kelli Rado was in a very low place emotionally. While it was an extremely difficult time, Kelli started thinking about how her experiences could help others. It evolved into a book that not only can be read to babies and kids but it is also a book that provides adults with bible verses to support different periods in the grieving process. The book gently talks about the topics of loss, hope, and joy. Kelli joins us to discuss her story and how her book, "Our Rainbow", can help others going through difficult times. For more information or to contact Kelli, connect with her on Facebook. And to purchase "Our Rainbow", visit WestBowPress.com.
