What Happened to Kimble's Mother? Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story
What Happened to Kimble's Mother?
The Book Connection Interview by Cheryl Malandrinos“What
happened to Kimble's mother is the central mystery that guides and
motivates everything that Kimble, the ghost of a 10-year-old girl,
does. So, it was a topic that needed to be addressed. It was really
important to me to deal with grief in a realistic way.
In so many
children’s books, the author sort of glosses over death and grief as if
it’s not really that big of a deal, all in the interest of moving the
plot along. But it is a big deal. If a spirit can be earthbound because
of unhealed grief, then that grief must be dealt with or the author is
just cheating the reader.”
–Linda Thieman, author
