The Invisible String Paperback – Picture Book, October 30, 2018

The Invisible String is a beautifully written and heartfelt book that teaches children (and adults) about the unbreakable connections we share with the people we love, even when we are apart. The story provides a comforting and reassuring message, making it perfect for children who experience separation anxiety, loss, or simply need a reminder that love transcends distance.I recently read this book to my daughter’s class for her birthday, and it was an absolute hit! The children were engaged and excited to share their own “invisible strings,” creating a wonderful discussion about love and connection. The message resonated so deeply that I gifted the book to the teacher, who loved it so much that she plans to read it to her students every year. She even had my daughter sign it as a special keepsake, which made the moment even more meaningful.The illustrations are warm and inviting, perfectly complementing the story’s gentle and uplifting tone. I highly recommend The Invisible String for parents, teachers, and anyone looking for a book that fosters emotional resilience and a sense of security in children. It’s a timeless and invaluable addition to any home or classroom library!

This book is such a sweet and comforting read for kids. It’s helped my children understand connection and separation in a meaningful way after a loss in our family. A great gift for families or classrooms.

Love the idea. I bought the book for two young boys 3 and 4 years old who lost their Dad in an automobile accident. I think this book is for older children.

I work with children and youth with emotional and/or behavioral challenges, and their families. This book is useful for all ages, and is very helpful when someone is dealing with grief/a loss/bereavement. All clinicians in my team use this book with several clients, and we all like it very much. I purchased it as a gift for those I mentor, as they complete their graduate studies.

The Invisible String is the kind of book every child should have on their shelf. Whether it’s grief, separation anxiety, or just missing a loved one, this story offers a gentle and beautiful reminder that love keeps us connected—no matter where we are. As a teacher, I’ve read this aloud in class during difficult times, and it always brings comfort, even to adults. The message is universal and timeless. The illustrations are sweet and the language is simple enough for young kids to understand, yet powerful enough to move anyone. Highly, highly recommended.

Very sweet story! Both my 6 year old and 4 year old request it often at bedtime.

While this children's picture book is actually about unconditional and life-long love, not specifically about grief, it is a wonderful story for showing children how love (an "invisible string" that connects people and animals) never wanes, nor does it ever die, even when loved ones are far away from one another. The story has an incredibly reassuring and comforting tone which could likely bring peace and comfort to its audience.Again, while this book is not specifically about grief, there is mention of a dead uncle when the children in the story question whether the invisible string of love can even reach all the way up to Uncle Brian in Heaven. This particular page could open up many conversations with bereaved siblings regarding their brother(s) and/or sister(s).

Appropriate for all ages
