You would reach for this book when your child is experiencing big feelings of separation, whether that is the first day of preschool, a parent traveling for work, or the more permanent loss of a loved one. It is a gentle, imaginative tool designed to ground children who feel untethered by distance or grief. The story centers on a mother explaining to her children that we are all joined by an 'Invisible String' made of love. This string reaches everywhere: from home to school, across the ocean, and even to heaven. It is a secular and comforting concept that provides a concrete visual for the abstract bond of affection.
