Life changes—and children notice.
When someone or something we love changes or goes away, big feelings can follow. Holding On, Letting Go helps children and families talk about those moments with honesty, warmth, and hope.
Join Ella the little dandelion, her mom, and her grandma as they move through the different stages of life. With gentle conversations and comforting imagery, Ella learns that change and letting go are part of growing—and that love and memories continue on.
This beautifully illustrated picture book, ideal for children ages 5–9 (grades K–3), offers a concrete and reassuring way to begin important conversations about change, loss, and resilience. It also includes a dedicated resource section with:
• conversation starters and guided questions
• sensory regulation tools and strategies
• hands-on activities for reflection and coping
These supports are especially valuable for highly sensitive and neurodiverse children—including those with autism, ADHD, or developmental or physical differences—helping them process emotions, bodily sensations, and transitions with compassion and understanding.
Life is full of moments of holding on and letting go—this story helps children, families, and professionals find gentle ways through those in-between spaces.
