Caitlin's Star

By Nancy Range Anderson

A comforting children's book about grief to help families navigate loss with love, memory, and hope.

Caitlin's Star is a gentle, reassuring story for children and families experiencing grief, offering comfort and a soft reminder that love continues even after goodbye.

When someone special dies, children often struggle to understand what happened and how to express the big feelings that follow. Caitlin's Star helps open the door to conversation, emotional reflection, and healing in an age-appropriate way.

Told through the tender story of a young girl who loses her grandmother, this beautifully illustrated book follows Caitlin as she imagines her grandmother's continuing role and "special job" among the stars. Guided by the image of a star shining in the night sky, children learn that the people we love remain with us through memory, imagination, and the love they leave behind.

Caitlin's Star is interactive and invites children and families to explore love, memory, and connection together. Journaling pages, guided questions, and creative activities help children share memories, express feelings, and imagine their loved one's special job among the stars, making the book a keepsake families can return to.
