Shine Down On Me – A Children’s Book for Loss

A beautifully illustrated story created to help children understand grief and loss, Shine Down on Me is a gentle picture book that offers comfort through tender storytelling. Told through the eyes of a young girl, it explores missing a loved one by using changing weather as a metaphor for emotions — helping children connect with and understand their own feelings.

“You are not alone little one, many of us too have lost someone we love. We can look up to the sky together, where they shine down from above.”

Throughout the book, a comforting star character reminds children that love remains, even when someone special is no longer physically here. With a hopeful ending and a dedicated page for writing down special memories, it becomes both a healing story and a meaningful keepsake.
