The Promise String

By: Soza Castillo, Lydya

Nicolas believes in superheroes, magic, and-most of all-his mommy's pinky promises.

But what happens when even the most heartfelt promises get broken?

In The Promise String, a touching and beautifully illustrated picture book, readers are invited into the world of a little boy named Nicolas and his loving mom. As life gets in the way of a trip to the zoo, a batch of cookies, and a visit to the park, Nicolas learns that even the people we love can't always keep their word. Through tears, frustration, and honest conversations, The Promise String gently explores disappointment and reassurance-leading to a symbolic gift that will stay with Nicolas forever.

This tender story celebrates the strength of a parent's love even when things don't go as planned. It offers young readers a gentle, age-appropriate way to understand broken promises, forgiveness, and the unbreakable bond between caregiver and child.

Perfect for families navigating big emotions, this story reminds children that while plans may change, love is a promise that always holds true.
