How do you explain loss to a child when you're still finding the words yourself?
Where Is Pillar is a gentle, reassuring guide to grief for children and the adults who care for them. Children follow the journey of Mila the mouse searching for Pillar the caterpillar, discovering that the people we love continue to live in memories, stories, and the impact they leave behind even after they're gone.
Recommended for ages 3-7, this beautifully paced story helps families navigate the confusing emotions that follow the loss of a loved one, with compassion, honesty, and hope.Written by award-winning journalist Eleisha Foon after the sudden death of her best friend, Where Is Pillar transforms personal heartbreak into a story that offers comfort and understanding. Rather than rushing to answers, the book makes space for questions, quiet moments, and shared reflection.
Through clear, accessible language and illustrations that resonate with young readers, children are given the words to name their feelings while adults are invited into meaningful conversations alongside them. The story gently acknowledges uncertainty, helping children feel less alone while strengthening connection with parents, caregivers, and educators.
Whether a child is experiencing grief through death, separation, or major life change, Where Is Pillar serves as a compassionate companion, one that supports emotional expression, encourages dialogue, and reminds readers of all ages that grief is something we can sit with together.
