Review quotes

Praise for The Invisible String:

If I could only have one book to use for counseling purposes, this would be it. This book is extremely versatile. It can be used for any type of separation, loss. —-United Way (Life Lessons for Little Ones)

Delivers a particularly compelling message in today's uncertain times that though we may be separated from the ones we care for, love is the unending connection that binds us all. —-The American Academy of Pediatrics

Children of all ages (and yes, adults too!) feel a great sense of peace and joy realizing that we are all connected to the ones we love through The Invisible String. —-The National Association of School Psychologists

A wonderful storybook for children experiencing separation anxiety. —-Today's Parent

The message of The Invisible String resonates with children and adults alike.... The two ends of the treasured Invisible String are families and schools. This String, reinforced on each side, buoys students with love, guidance, direction. But when one end weakens, the entire String falters.... When we need support, reassurance, or simply a kindred spirit, just give the String a tug and someone will tug back. This is powerful, and will keep your child on track through...his or her education journey. —-Carmen Fariña, Former Chancellor, NYC Department of Education
