The Invisible String

Submitted by Carol Pobanz

I love reading to children, especially my grandchildren.  Their delight in a story or an idea not only inspires them but it often inspires me as well.  I guess I just never grew up, or maybe I just continue to grow.

I was recently introduced to one of those books that has a timeless and ageless quality to it titled The Invisible String. I want to recommend this book to all parents and grandparents.

Taken from the book cover of The Invisible String by Patrice Karst:

As long as love is in your heart, the Invisible String will always be there.

When Mom tells her two children that they’re connected by an Invisible String, the children insist, “That’s impossible!” But still, they want to know more: “What kind of string?” The answer is the simple truth that binds us all:

It’s an Invisible String made of love. Even though you can’t see it, you can feel it deep in your heart and know that you are always connected to the ones you love.

This joyful contemporary classic for all ages has helped comfort and heal countless readers by easing separation anxiety, loneliness, and loss, while also exploring the intangible and unbreakable connection between us all.
