The Invisible String
Patrice Karst, Joanne Lew-Vriethoff
Parents, educators, therapists, and social workers alike have declared 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 heart-warming 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 centres, 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.
""This book is a beautiful way to begin to try, as parents, to instil in children the impenetrable power of the heart, the energy of love, and the flow that can be felt from the grace in every moment."" -Tony Robbins

I liked it because it teaches you about all the stuff that keeps you together even if you are rely far away from each other. I also liked it because at the start the twins were afraid of the storm and it woke them up and then when their mum told them about the invisible string they were much better and then they had a really nice dream about invisible strings
