Griefosaurus

Katie-Rose Fischer-Price is a mother, nurse, and potter living on a small farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. She is the artist behind K2 Clay, where she creates handcrafted face mugs shaped by the quirks, oddities, and stories of the people who inspire her. Her pottery is whimsical and deeply human -- each piece tells a story, often funny, sometimes tender, always honest.

Storytelling has always been at the heart of Katie-Rose's work. After losing a parent as a young child, she grew up carrying a quiet, personal understanding of grief. That experience lives in her art and now in her writing. She believes in making space for the big feelings kids hold -- and honoring their capacity for resilience, imagination, and truth.

When she's not elbow-deep in clay or chasing after her toddler, Katie-Rose can be found hiking in the mountains, play board games with her husband, or sharing her creative process with her community online. This book is her way of reaching out to children who need the comfort of being seen and the reminder that they not alone.
