A tender story unfolds between a mother and their child - as they meander through grief and find the courage to hold onto joy, even when hearts feel heavy. Through the simple words and heartfelt illustrations, this book gently opens the door for children and families to talk about grief, healing, and the beauty of remembering. A story that shows even in the midst of loss, love continues to grow. This book intends to offer comfort, connection, and a reminder that joy and sadness can coexist after pregnancy or infant loss. Whether read aloud at bedtime, shared in moments of quiet reflection, or gifted as a token of empathy, it is a story to hold close during difficult times. The final pages of the book include a healing activity for children and adults to connect with their feelings and calm the brain.
