Description
Comfort your little one through separation anxieties big and small. From actress, mother of four, and podcast host Sarah Wright Olsen comes When I Am Not with You, a dreamy, rhyming picture book that shows whether it’s across the room or across the world, you and your little one are always together in your hearts and minds.
When I am not with you, where will I be?
In your heart, I will warm you. In your head, you’ll see me.
Those moments alone I’m always with you
Because you’re in my heart and my head too.
In a world that's constantly moving and changing, it can be especially hard for kids to be separated from the people they love most. When I Am Not with You eases readers’ separation anxiety by reassuring them that love can bridge any distance. From building a blanket fort to drinking tea on the moon, this lyrical, comforting book encourages kids to use their imaginations to keep their loved ones close until they’re reunited again.
Perfect for parents to share their boundless love with their children before bedtime, a night out, or a big trip, When I Am Not with You gently reminds readers of all ages that if you hold your loved one in your heart and head, you’re never truly separated.
When I Am Not with You is perfect for:
- sharing with children ages 4 and up
- comforting kids through separations both short (like bedtime or back-to-school) and long (like work trips, deployment, or even loss)
- building healthy mental skills such as patience, coping, mindfulness, imagination, and emotional intelligence
