Love

Everyone loves everyone in Tess’s house, but when Tess has to leave for school for the very first time, she is worried that her family’s love might not stretch that far. Mom explains that love is like a string, it connects people together even when they are far away. At school Tess notices that all the children have strings! Some are new, some are old, some stretch a long way, and some even stretch right up into the sky. But what happens when a string breaks?

This funny, emotional, and uplifting picture book about separation and love helps children understand their emotions — and manage the times they need to be apart. The story subtly and gently tackles difficult topics of death, grief, separation, and overcoming anxiety. With warm illustrations and soothing text, this reassuring book is perfect for sharing with kids who worry about being away from their families.

Description

"Employing the familiar metaphor of love as a string that stretches between loved ones, Averiss adds her own touch with graceful, lightly figurative language ('When Tess visited Granny and Gramps’s house, the love she had left there last time was still safe inside,' one page reads, the fondness visualized as a golden glow). Beautyman’s illustrations are warm and textural, with heartstrings visualized in sweeping loops. A reassuring read for those with separation anxiety." — Publishers Weekly
