About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the physical distance between themselves and a loved one, especially a grandparent. It is an ideal choice for families living in different states or countries who want to validate the ache of missing someone while focusing on the joy of staying connected. The story follows a child who uses their imagination to brainstorm whimsical and practical ways to bridge the gap, from building a long-distance tin-can phone to sending a hug through the mail. While the book acknowledges the sadness of being apart, it maintains a hopeful and proactive tone. It is perfect for preschoolers and young elementary students who are still developing their sense of time and distance. Parents will appreciate how it models creative problem-solving and emotional resilience, turning a difficult 'goodbye' into a series of meaningful 'someday soon' connections.
