Connected by Light is a tender, comforting story that helps children—and the grown-ups who love them—understand that the people we lose never truly leave us. Their love doesn’t disappear. It changes shape. It settles into the warm, everyday places where we feel them most. Set in a cozy old town during a snowy winter night, this beautifully illustrated tale follows small moments of connection: a boy baking cookies that shimmer with the memory of Grandma, a girl hanging her mom’s ornament on the tree, a little one whispering goodnight to her dog’s glowing photo, and an elderly woman smiling with the memory of her husband. Each light in the story—candles, ornaments, streetlamps, stars—reminds readers that love has a way of finding us, especially when we need it. Connected by Light gently introduces themes of grief, remembrance, and emotional connection in a developmentally safe way for children ages 6+. This book offers families, therapists, teachers, and caregivers a meaningful tool for talking about loss while opening the door to hope, love, and healing. Perfect for: Children navigating the loss of a loved one or pet - Families seeking a gentle Christmas or holiday remembrance book - Therapists, counselors, schools, and support groups - Anyone who believes love continues in quiet, magical ways A companion to Connected by Blueberries and Connected by Feathers , this story reminds us that even when someone is no longer here…their light is.
