The Invisible String by Patrice Karst

The Invisible String Book
By Patrice Karst

A bestselling and much-loved picture book about the invisible bonds that connect us to those we love, even when we’re apart.

When a mother tells her children about the Invisible String that links us to everyone who matters, friends, family, pets, and loved ones who may be far away or even no longer with us, they begin to understand that love is stronger than distance or loss. The story gently explores themes of separation, anxiety, and grief, helping children process big emotions in a safe and comforting way.

Why we love this
Beautifully simple and deeply reassuring, The Invisible String is one of our go-to recommendations for families navigating loss, big life changes, or bedtime worries. It encourages children to talk about their feelings and reminds them that the people who love them are always close at heart, a timeless message for every age.
