**DISCLAIMER**
This paperback edition is the original version of When You Miss Me, written twenty years ago for a young girl who was learning how to navigate the quiet ache of missing someone she loved. It's the story that started everything, and the one that helped countless children find comfort during long periods apart from a parent or loved one. While the hardcover and eBook editions are expanded 20th Anniversary retellings with new chapters and a deeper world, this paperback preserves the book exactly as it was first shared. It remains a simple and gentle guide for children who need to know they are never as alone as they feel.
