About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the profound 'why' questions that often follow a loss or a period of spiritual searching. Madeleine L'Engle, beloved author of A Wrinkle in Time, offers a collection of stories that act as a bridge between the seen and unseen worlds. These narratives provide a comforting, thoughtful space for pre-teens to explore themes of grief, the afterlife, and the enduring nature of love through a lens of gentle Christian mysticism. It is an ideal choice for the sensitive middle-schooler who feels things deeply and is beginning to look for meaning beyond the literal surface of life. The stories normalize the feeling of being different or lonely while offering a hopeful perspective on our connection to the universe.
