Hutchinson's book is for anyone who has suffered loss. In May of 2014, Hutchison went to Newtown, CT, following the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary to paint with children who witnessed this tragic event. This experience began his journey to use his writing and art to serve those who grieve. A Journey Through Loss With Art and Color guides the reader through different emotions and reactions related to grieving.  Although created for children, people of all ages will appreciate the message and art. At the end of the book, Hutchison  lists ways to remember and celebrate the  life of a loved one and gives resources on grief and loss.
