2nd Annual Virtual Family Storytime

The Invisible String: Family Celebration offers a sweet reminder to young readers that love keeps us connected, even when the people we love are not always nearby. Through the familiar idea of an “invisible string”, children are encouraged to think about the special people who are part of their lives and the connections that make them feel loved and safe.

This book is especially meaningful for adoptive, foster, kinship, and blended families because it provides a simple way to talk with children about separation from parents or siblings, changes in caregivers, and other changes that can leave them wondering about the people they love. It also celebrates the many different ways families are formed. Families may look different from one another, but what makes a family special is the love, connection, and sense of belonging the share.
