New York, NY March 10 – Books are written for countless reasons, out of adventure, need, memory, and emotion. And sometimes, they’re born from grief. As Maya Angelou once wrote, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
Queens native René Marsh, daughter of Jamaican immigrants and a longtime journalist currently serving as a CNN national correspondent, brings this perspective to her new children’s book, The Nature of Change. It is a deeply personal story inspired by the loss of her young son to brain cancer and how Marsh turned to authoring children’s books as a way to create a soft place for families to land, especially during moments when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. In this book, she offers a grounded, deeply human perspective on resilience, identity, and finding steadiness in times of change.
