Josh published a children’s book called “A Special Place in My Brain” in 2021. The purpose of the book is to help caregivers support their children’s healing after being exposed to extreme stress/trauma. The book is available for purchase on Amazon.com and has been translated into Arabic, Ukrainian, Polish, Russian, and will soon be translated into Spanish, French, and hopefully many more languages- for the purpose of being offered for free to displaced persons/refugees that are struggling with the effects of being forced to leave their homes for various stressful reasons.
