Synopsis

That's impossible said twins Jeremy & Liza after their Mum told them they're all connected by this thing called an Invisible String. What kind of string? They asked with a puzzled look to which Mum replied An Invisible String made of love. That's where the story begins. A story that teaches of the tie that really binds. Mums (and Dads) feel the tug whenever kids give it; and kids feel the tug that comes right back: the Invisible String reaches from heart to heart. Does everybody have an Invisible String? How far does it reach anyway? Read all about it! Whether it's a loved one far away or a parent in the next room this delightful book illustrates a new way to cope with something all children and parents confront sooner or later; a child's fearof loneliness and separation. Here is a warm and delightful lesson teaching young and old that we aren't ever really alone.

About this title

Review:

"A heartwarming story that reassures children that even though they can't always be with a loved one, they're always in each other's hearts. Whenever a child thinks about a family member, THE INVISIBLE STRING gives a tug. The gentle story illustrates that we are still connected by love even after someone passes. -- --Parents Magazine "Parents Magazine"

"THE INVISIBLE STRING teaches kids how to deal with missing a parent by understanding that they are still connected to their parent via an invisible string. While not geared solely to military families, this touching book can help young children feel connected with deployed parents or other family members that are far away." -- --MilitaryFamily.org "MilitaryFamily.org"

"If I could only have one book to use for counseling purposes, this would be it. This book is extremely versatile. It can be used for any type of separation, loss." -- --The United Way (Life Lessons for Little Ones) "The United Way (Life Lessons for Little Ones)"

"A wonderful storybook for children experiencing separation anxiety." -- --Today's Parent "Today's Parent"
