The Invisible String

The Invisible String was recommended by our pediatrician after my brother passed earlier this year, and I’m so grateful we found it. It explains connection, love, and grief in such a gentle, reassuring way that really clicked with my kids. The message is simple but powerful — that we’re always connected to the people we love, even when they’re not physically with us. Reading it together opened up conversations we needed to have, and it helped my children feel safe, seen, and supported during a really hard time. It’s beautifully written, beautifully illustrated, and such a comfort. Truly a 5/5 book for any family navigating loss, separation, or big feelings. Highly recommend.

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!

Such a great book for littles to help with life changes

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.

This is such a cute book! Both my kids loved it. Especially great for any little ones getting ready to start school or have to be away from a loved one for a period of time. It’s beautiful.

Beautiful, simple story about our connections to each other wherever we are

Quality hard back book that touches on loving while being separated. The pictures are simple yet eye catching. Only one page talked about an invisible string to someone no longer alive.

My 4‑year‑old understood the concept right away, and it opened the door to a really hard but important conversation about death. We’re preparing him for the inevitable passing of his very sick grandmother, and this book gave us a way to talk about it with honesty and comfort. Neither my wife nor I can get through it without crying — which tells you how powerful it is — but it’s written in a way that makes sense to a young child without ever feeling heavy or overwhelming. It’s tender, simple, and incredibly well‑written for this age. A truly meaningful book for families navigating big emotions.
