The Invisible String the perfect tool for coping with all kinds of separation anxiety, loss, and grief.

In this relatable and reassuring contemporary classic, a mother tells her two children that they're all connected by an invisible string. "That's impossible!" the children insist, but still they want to know more: "What kind of string?" The answer is the simple truth that binds us all: An Invisible String made of love. Even though you can't see it with your eyes, you can feel it deep in your heart, and know that you are always connected to the ones you love. Does everybody have an Invisible String? How far does it reach? Does it ever go away? This heartwarming picture book for all ages explores questions about the intangible yet unbreakable connections between us, and opens up deeper conversations about love.

Recommended and adopted by parenting blogs, bereavement support groups, hospice centers, foster care and social service agencies, military library services, church groups, and educators,
The Invisible String offers a very simple approach to overcoming loneliness, separation, or loss with an imaginative twist that children easily understand and embrace, and delivers a particularly compelling message in today's uncertain times. This special paperback edition includes vibrant new illustrations and an introduction from the author.

The National Association of School Psychologists

"The message of
The Invisible String resonates with children and adults alike.... The two ends of the treasured Invisible String are families and schools. This String, reinforced on each side, buoys students with love, guidance, direction. But when one end weakens, the entire String falters.... When we need support, reassurance, or simply a kindred spirit, just give the String a tug and someone will tug back. This is powerful, and will keep your child on track through...his or her education journey."―Carmen Fariña, former Chancellor, NYC Department of Education

5.0 out of 5 stars First grade class loved it!

D. · February 14, 2025

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!

I work with children and youth with emotional and/or behavioral challenges, and their families. This book is useful for all ages, and is very helpful when someone is dealing with grief/a loss/bereavement. All clinicians in my team use this book with several clients, and we all like it very much. I purchased it as a gift for those I mentor, as they complete their graduate studies.

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.
