The Cicada's Song

By Andy Chism

When Braylin asks his Popaw a big question about life and loss, the answer comes in the gentle wisdom of nature. Together, they discover that what we see is only the shell, while what truly matters lives on-just like the cicadas that leave their husks behind and rise into the summer trees to sing.

With tender watercolor illustrations and a heartfelt narrative, The Cicada Story helps families talk about hard questions with comfort, hope, and love.

✨ A perfect book for:

Parents and grandparents explaining life, death, and remembrance to childrenFamilies seeking gentle, faith-friendly metaphors to spark conversationNature lovers who find healing in the songs of cicadas and summer evenings

This beautifully illustrated story offers more than comfort. It gives children a picture they can hold onto: that love doesn't end when the shell is gone-it simply changes form, like the song of the cicada carried through the trees.
