Based on the award-winning animated short film, this poignant, touching, and uplifting picture book about grief reminds us that loved ones never truly leave our side, and that they can even take shape as tiny, little dragonflies.
When Celine's best friend dies, she decides to wear a dragonfly bracelet to keep her close. After Celine and her family escape a car accident unharmed, she realizes she has lost the dragonfly bracelet. Rattled by the scary and unexpected series of events, Celine determines they must have a guardian angel watching over them.
Dragonflies symbolize transformation from a physical presence to a spiritual one. All too often we lose loved ones only to wonder where they've gone and if we'll ever see them again. In this true story of life, death, and everlasting friendship, Leah Is A Dragonfly Now helps readers cope with the loneliness, sadness, and anxiety we may feel after someone we love leaves us. Leah, now a dragonfly, reminds her best friend that she will always be by her side, even if she doesn't see her, and will always be looking out for her.
"Hi, friend. I'm here with you and always will be."
A heartwarming gift for older children and adults who have suffered loss and want to stay connected to their loved ones.
