Parents, educators, therapists and social workers alike have declared The Invisible String the perfect tool for coping with all kinds of separation anxiety, loss and grief. In this relatable and reassuring contemporary classic, a mother tells her two children that they're all connected by an invisible string.

Even though you can't see it with your eyes, you can feel it deep in your heart and know that you are always connected to the ones you love. Does everybody have an Invisible String? How far does it reach? Does it ever go away? This heartwarming picture book for all ages explores questions about the intangible yet unbreakable connections between us and opens up deeper conversations about love.
