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

Reviews
We love to talk about grandad David when we read this book.
I liked feeling the invisible string by your heart. Makes you feel good when you miss mummy.
Mummy and I love this story. I feel safe and loved when I read it.
I love this book, I live the concept too. It is all about there is a string inside you, a string of love that connects you to all the people you love and who love you.
I recommend this book if you have somebody in heaven as it explains lots of good things about how we are connected by love.
When someone is lonely, the parent is always with you because of the invisible string.
I love how the invisible string made everyone not feel lonely. In every way it is super beautiful and made me feel happy. It made me want to be kind to my family.
This helped me with missing my mummy when we are apart. I know she there.
Tell you there is always love
I liked this story and my favourite character was Jeremy. Reading this book makes me feel loved.
I liked it because it reminds me of Bing
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
I liked this book. I have an invisible sting that reaches all the way to heaven with my Aunt Linzay, and to Texas with my Aunt Bocca, Dani, and Pops, and Scotland to my Nanna and Grampa I have invisible strings everywhere and I know people love me
I like this book because I know my mum and dad and Nanna and grampa and Bocca and Dani and Brendan and Clint and pops and our dog Bruce love me all the time
I like at the end that they go to sleep happily and have nice dreams about the invisible strings.
I like that it had kindness in it. Everybody was kind to everybody
I would recommend this to any child who feels lonely or upset when not with their mum, this has helped me go back to school.

I like this book because it is very calming and it made me feel good. My favourite character was the mummy because she helps her children
I like the name of the book. I like that it is about love and being kind.
It has a really nice storyline and meaning
I like this book because it makes me happy. People we love are always with us.
I have an invisible string with mummy and daddy and my brother
It can reach me anywhere
I use this calming technique with my children and did not realise it was a story book. Good for early years but up to juniors I’d say. Will definitely purchase.
