Janet Shindle, M.S.W, is a retired social worker, mother of three, and grandmother of seven. In her years of experience in social work and public service, she has been involved with children, the elderly, and others who have struggled with loss. Janet is a strong believer in the power of stories to affirm experience, normalize feelings, provide perspective, and assist with healing. She began writing children's stories after recognizing how challenging it can be for caregivers to find the right words to anchor and comfort a child during difficult times. She would like to be part of helping children adapt and move on in healthy ways.
Janet lives with her husband in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada. Her family has taught her much about the unique ways adults and children cope with loss. Nana's Magic Swing was inspired by the author's grandmother (Nana) and her son (Graham), who shared adventures on a swing many years ago.....
