Amanda Kloots Talks Inspiration Behind New Children’s Book

Amanda Kloots has released her first children’s book on dealing with grief!

The fitness entrepreneur has continued to acknowledge the gaping hole that her husband, Nick Cordero’s passing, left in her and their son, Elvis Eduardo’s lives. Through her newest venture, she hopes parents — or legal guardians — can create safe spaces for kids who have lost somebody special to them. Fans hope the book will do as well as Kloots 2021 memoir, “Live Your Life,” which landed her a spot on New York Times best-seller list.

Amanda Kloots Launches New Children’s Book That Focuses On Dealing With Grief

Several months after divulging her intent to release a children’s book inspired by the time she and Elvis have spent sharing their dreams, Kloots has launched “Tell Me Your Dreams.” Speaking on what she hoped readers would get from the colorful pages, the “Fit For Christmas” star told “The Talk” audience:

“It’s really hard sometimes for adults to talk to children about death and how to incorporate it. It’s really a tough subject; you don’t know how to do it.”

She then revealed that it was after she wrote the book that she realized it was “a great way for parents to incorporate those that they’ve lost in their family, be it a sibling, parent, or grandparent or a friend to help their children.”

“Like ‘you know what, this person is gone, but let’s pretend that they get to visit you in your dreams and you get to go on adventures that only you get to go on with these people,'” the “Dancing with the Stars” contestants concluded.

Kloots’ statement earned her applause from the on-set audience, with even more people expressing their support for her on Instagram. “Congrats again, Amanda, for following your heart and making your dreams come true! Elvis is a lucky boy to have you!” one person exclaimed in the comments.

A second fan declared that the book is “a perfect bedtime dreamy read,” and a third shared their joy that “you created this important book. You are a light in the world Amanda.”

A fourth netizen thanked the 41-year-old for putting her “heart and soul into helping parents and grandparents…and anyone talk to the kids in their lives about such an emotional subject.” A fifth commenter praised the author for “looking out for everyone while healing your own!” and several others congratulated her on the feat.

The television personality recently evoked her followers’ emotions when she shared the biggest lesson that Cordero’s hospitalization taught her. Per The Blast, Kloots uploaded a pic of her late beau holding their toddler in the air as she wished for a second chance to be with the actor.

The dancer further mentioned that she would love to give the “Broadway Over Bullets” star “the biggest kiss” and “hold him in a never-ending hug” if she could. She then admitted her naivety in thinking that she would pick him up from the hospital in a couple of hours before adding:

“I’ve learned to say different goodbyes. I’ve learned to always tell people you love them. I’ve learned that life is fragile and we are not invincible.”

The mother-of-one finished her touching tribute by urging her fans to “Live and love to the fullest.” 

The Daytime Talk Show Host Fears’ Being Stuck’ In Her Grief Journey

In January, The Blast noted that an Instagram Story update from Kloots prompted a fan to reach out to her in the DMs. The message, which was sent after the actress posted a picture of herself wearing a blue T-shirt and no makeup, read, “Seems like you move forward and then sometimes you take two steps back.”

Even though she initially replied, “I think that’s the definition of grief” to the text, the “The Talk” co-host took things further by explaining more via her Stories. Across a screenshot of the conversation, she penned:

“I never mind taking two steps back. That’s how we learn, grow and evolve. Little baby steps that help us to keep learning from what we’ve gone through in life so that there is no such thing as being stuck. That’s my biggest fear.”

She concluded that although grief changed people, it clarified things, and “in clarity, there is power.”
