The Invisible String

fullDescription

With over 1.5 million copies sold, this accessible, bestselling book phenomenon about the unbreakable connections between loved ones has healed generations of children and adults alike.
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. It's also been joyfully embraced as a year-round celebration of love—gifted at births, graduations, weddings, Valentine's Day, and beyond. 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.

     October 15, 2018
     A book aimed at easing separation anxiety and reinforcing bonds.Twins Liza and Jeremy awaken during a thunderstorm and go to their mother for comfort. She reassures them that they're safe and says, "You know we're always together, no matter what," when they object to returning to bed. She then explains that when she was a child her mother told her about the titular "Invisible String," encouraging them to envision it as a link between them no matter what. "People who love each other are always connected by a very special String made of love," she tells them, reinforcing this idea as they proceed to imagine various scenarios, fantastic and otherwise, that might cause them to be separated in body. She also affirms that this string can "reach all the way to Uncle Brian in heaven" and that it doesn't go away if she's angry with them or when they have conflicts. As they go to bed, reassured, the children, who present white, imagine their friends and diverse people around the world connected with invisible strings, promoting a vision of global unity and empathy. While the writing often feels labored and needlessly repetitive, Lew-Vriethoff's playful cartoon art enhances and lightens the message-driven text, which was originally published in 2000 with illustrations by Geoff Stevenson.Sentimental but effective. (Picture book. 3-6)
