A heartfelt story for children who wait, wonder, and wish for the parent who doesn't always show up.
When You Say You'll Come is a tender, beautifully illustrated picture book that gives voice to children navigating the disappointment of broken promises and emotional absence. This story explores the highs of hope and the quiet sadness of waiting, while gently reminding readers that their worth is never defined by someone else's actions.
For children with an absent parent - due to incarceration, addiction, estrangement, or inconsistency - this story offers validation, language for big feelings, and a powerful message of resilience.
A comforting resource for:
Children coping with parental absence
Foster and kinship families
Therapists and school counselors
Educators seeking trauma-informed books
Grandparents and caregivers raising children
When You Say You'll Come is a reminder to every child:
You are loved. You are important. And you are always worth showing up for.
