The Star

Reach for this book when your child is facing a difficult goodbye, whether due to a move, a family member traveling, or the loss of a loved one. The story follows a young boy and his grandfather who share a special bond over the North Star, a fixed point in the sky that remains constant even when they are physically apart. It is a gentle, lyrical tool for explaining that love is an invisible thread that connects us regardless of distance. This book is particularly effective for children aged 3 to 7 because it uses a concrete, observable anchor in nature (the star) to explain the abstract and often overwhelming concept of separation. It offers a sense of permanence and security during times of change, helping children feel grounded when their world feels unpredictable.
