The invisible string /
Karst, Patrice,
The invisible string / Patrice Karst ; illustrated by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff. - First paperback edition. - 36 unnumbered pages : colour illustrations ; 26 cm.
Text originally published in 2000 by DeVorss & Company, Publishers, in the United States of America.
When Liza and Jeremy run to their mother during a scary storm, she comforts them by telling them about the Invisible String, which connects people who love each other no matter where they are - in the world or in space - and means that they are never alone. The simple text is complemented by sprawling, vivid illustrations that help to show that we all remain connected, even when separated. Only one page makes a reference to separation by death, so this book is useful for grieving children who have suffered a bereavement, as well as those who have experienced other separations and losses. The word "heaven" is used once, but the narrative does not endorse any explicit religious faith. There is a companion workbook which includes activities based around the concept of invisible strings of connection. Colour picturebook with short text.
Audience: Child 6 – 8 years, or younger with an accompanying adult; Adult caregiver
