Some things change. Some things go. Some things stay.
When life feels uncertain, children need reminders of what remains steady and true. Things That Stay is a tender, lyrical collection of poems designed to comfort kids facing divorce, grief, moving homes, or any of life's big changes.
Through simple, poetic language and warm imagery, this book gently guides children to notice the anchors in their lives - love, memories, nature, and their own inner strength. Each page reminds them that even when circumstances shift, there are always things that stay.
Perfect for:
- Children experiencing divorce or separation
- Kids coping with grief or loss
- Families navigating change (moving, new schools, blended families)
- Parents, teachers, or counselors looking for gentle conversation starters about feelings and resilience
Themes inside include:
- Finding comfort in constants when everything feels different
- Understanding emotions during transitions
- The reassurance that love and connection outlast change.
A soothing companion for bedtime, therapy sessions, or quiet reflection, Things That Stay offers both children and their caregivers a reminder of hope: while life changes, love remains.
