Her debut children's story, Three Brave Stars, strives to support children by working through the stress and trauma of losing a loved one and understanding grief. Robyn says:

"Mental health issues and emotional related stress is seen everywhere regardless of facility, background of families, cultures, race, religion, etc. I have assisted families in grieving for the entire span of my career. No two families react to a loss the exact same way, no two families mourn or believe or grieve the same."

Three Brave Stars

Children's Literature - Fantasy Fiction

"As with all epic battles of kingdoms past," Queen Edith answered, "special and brave loved ones perished. But that is how we got our beloved stars."

So begins a story that captivates young audiences with a compelling tale of bravery, sacrifice, and everlasting hope. Meet the royal family in the enchanting kingdom of Bellagio and take the journey with them as they learn that not all stories are about their happy endings. Some are about the way love lives on when the story ends.

Three Brave Stars speaks to children and families who have lost a loved one, reminding them they always remain connected to those they can no longer see. With charming characters and vivid world-building comes a fantasy adventure that validates the individual experience of grief with the comfort of the stars to commemorate the ones watching over them.

In her debut children's story, Three Brave Stars, Licensed Creative Art Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist, and National Certified Counselor, Robyn Spodek-Schindler, wants to provide a hand to hold as children cope, knowing that the stars will always shine down on them.
