Grief is hard to talk about, especially with young children. Always With Us is a children’s picture book that helps families navigate pregnancy and infant loss. It helps children understand that love and memory live on, even after loss.

When Henry’s baby sibling dies before coming home, he’s left with questions, sadness, and silence. Through gentle metaphors like a glowing candle, a songbird urn, and the quiet presence of butterflies, Always With Us helps young children explore grief in a safe, age-appropriate way. Written for ages 3–7, this story is accompanied by a parent guide with healing activities and conversation prompts to support families in mourning.
