We are excited to announce our book of the month for July 2024: “The Invisible String” by Patrice Karst. This beautifully illustrated children’s book has touched the hearts of millions, and it’s easy to see why. With over 1.5 million copies sold, “The Invisible String” is a timeless tale that speaks to the power of love and connection.
About the Book
“The Invisible String” tells the story of twins Jeremy and Lisa, who wake up frightened in the middle of the night. Seeking comfort, they run to their mother, who reassures them with a magical story about an invisible string made of love that connects people who care about each other. This string, she explains, is always there, even when they are apart.
The book’s message is simple yet profound: love is an unbreakable bond that transcends physical distance. Whether it’s a parent and child, friends, or even loved ones who have passed away, the invisible string keeps us connected.
Why We Love It
Dr. Priya Thomas, our very own pediatrician at Mindful Pediatrics, recently discovered this gem and found it resonated deeply with her and her three children. She shares, “By far, this is their most favorite book I’ve read to them. It’s about the power of love and the invisible string that connects humans who love each other.”
The story is not only comforting for children but also serves as a wonderful tool for parents to discuss feelings of separation, anxiety, and the enduring nature of love. The vibrant illustrations by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff add an extra layer of warmth and charm to the narrative.
How to Enjoy the Book
We encourage you to read “The Invisible String” with your children, especially during bedtime. It’s a perfect way to end the day on a positive and loving note. Discuss the concept of the invisible string with them and ask them to think about all the people they are connected to by this special string of love.
