The story of The Invisible String is very short but delivers a very sweet message that “no one is ever alone.” While it does not directly talk about death and grief, The Invisible String gives its readers the reassurance that, even though you can’t physically be with someone you love, you are always connected to them. Such a thought is comforting especially to children who have a fear of being apart from someone they love. Moreover, the invisible string being talked about can stretch “anywhere and everywhere.”
“Would it reach me even if I were a submarine captain deep in the ocean?” asked Jeremy. “Yes,” Mom said. “Even there.”
“Or a mountain-climber?”
“Even there.”“A ballerina in France?”
“Even there.”“A jungle-explorer?”
“Even there.”“How about an astronaut in space?”
“Yes, even there.”
