In this moving, hope-filled picture book about loss, love, and family, a little girl grieving the death of her father discovers that she can take the loved ones she’s lost with her on all her future journeys.
Every night, a little girl and her daddy build dreams out of paper, scissors, and glue. Every morning the little girl asks, “Take me with you?” And every time, Daddy tells her they’ll keep building when he gets home from work.
Until one night when Daddy doesn’t come home. When Mommy tells her that Daddy died, the little girl feels confused and sad and even mad. How can she keep building without Daddy? But with some time and help from Mommy, the little girl begins building dreams again and finds a way to take her daddy with her everywhere she goes.
How do I support my child? How do I tell them what happened? A child's grief experience is very complex and differs dependent on developmental level, age, and relationship to the person who died. Parents often need support with knowing what their child is able to understand about death and dying, what to expect from their child as they grieve, and how to support their children through the acute phase of grief and as they grow.
This is a 45 minute phone session for parents to speak with a mental health provider from Hearts Connected, an organization connecting children and families to child life support services nationwide. All practitioners have extensive experience and expertise supporting children 0-21 with grief and loss.
Every session is tailored to the individual needs of the child and parent. A phone session may involve educating a parent about children's grief responses and red flags to be aware of, ways to assess and support their child's grief, supporting a parent emotionally with the daunting task of parenting while grieving themselves, or finding the language to tell their child about the death that happened.
Parents will also be provided access to a private Facebook group including support, resources, research, and education for parents surrounding children's grief.
Any add-ons purchased will be sent in the care package as a gift certificate.

I've never heard of this website before, but wanted to buy a book for a friend and I hate supporting big businesses like amazon. I am impressed with how fast the book shipped and think this is a sweet company with fair prices for it being a small business.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're delighted to hear you had a positive experience with us, and we hope your friend loves the book! Thank you for supporting a small, women-owned business. With love, Mel & Kris

I ordered this for a client who lost her husband, and it was exactly what she needed. Thoughtful, comforting, and so well put together. I really love what this company is doing!
The recipient of the box loved it!
They said that the “ face and eyes masks were one of the most amazing hydrating but not too sticky kind of masks…I had a really tough day yesterday and that was so lovely…”
Damn You, Universe!
