Watchful Wings

By: Thomson, Rea

When someone we love is gone, the smallest reminders can bring comfort.

Ellie's garden holds memories of time spent with her father. After his death, a hummingbird becomes a gentle reminder of their love as she moves through sadness, changing seasons, and moments of happiness returning.

Watchful Wings: A Father's Love is a children's picture book about grief, remembrance, and the lasting bond between a father and daughter. Through tender illustrations and the quiet presence of a hummingbird, Ellie's story explores how missing someone and finding joy can exist together.

Written by Rea Thomson after the loss of her own father, this deeply personal story was inspired by a hummingbird outside her living room window on the rainy day he passed away. Seeing a hummingbird still brings her a memory of him-and a smile.

Read together, Watchful Wings offers families a gentle starting point for conversations about death, feelings, and the memories we keep of people we love.
