Can You Still See Me?
A tender story inspired by love, loss, and the bond that never fades
Inspired by the author's own journey through grief after the loss of her father, Can You Still See Me? is a comforting picture book for children navigating the confusing emotions that follow the death of a loved one.
Told through gentle rhymes and vivid illustrations, the story follows a young boy who wonders if the person he lost can still see him-when he plays baseball, rides his bike, or searches for treasure. With each question, a red cardinal quietly appears, offering a beautiful reminder that love doesn't disappear, even when someone we love is no longer physically here.
More than just a story, this book is a source of comfort, healing, and connection. It opens the door for families and caregivers to have honest, hopeful conversations about grief, while offering children a safe space to feel seen and understood.
Perfect for ages 4-8, Can You Still See Me? is ideal for:
- Families coping with the loss of a loved one
- Parents and caregivers seeking a gentle way to talk about death
- Therapists, school counselors, and support groups
- Anyone wanting to help a grieving child feel less alone
This book was written with love for the author's young nephew, who was very close to his grandfather. It's a tribute to every child who wonders where their loved one has gone-and a gentle reminder that they're never truly gone at all.
