You Thought I Disappeared, Didn't You?: Quietly, softly I was always right here

By Lily Moon

You Thought I Disappeared, Didn't You?
Quietly, softly I was always right here

Sometimes, the things that matter most are the ones we don't always see.
The light that hides in brightness, the wind that slips by unnoticed,
the puddle that dries up before we even say goodbye.
This gentle picture book shares three soft-spoken stories-
about being overlooked, fading away, and still choosing to stay.
With warm words and tender moments,
this book invites both children and adults to rediscover what never truly left.
For those who've ever felt invisible, or simply forgotten,
these stories offer a quiet hand to hold.

Story Summaries

1. You Thought I Disappeared, Didn't You?

A small glimmer of light lives among brighter ones, never noticed in the day.
But when the sky turns its darkest, that tiny light is finally seen-clearly, truly.

2. The Wind No One Noticed

The wind has always been there, brushing past softly.
No one remembers it, yet it carries a seed on a long journey,
leaving something quietly growing in its path.

3. The Memory Left in a Dried Puddle

Children once splashed and laughed, until the sun came and the puddle dried.
Everyone left, but one small mark remained-
proof that something beautiful had happened there.

A Note to the Reader

This book is for the ones who stay in the background.
For the ones who are quiet, who wait, who go unnoticed.
To children:
You don't have to be loud or shiny to matter.
Your quiet light is just as bright.
To the grown-ups reading along:
May these stories help you pause-
and see the soft, steady things that never stopped being there.
Because sometimes,
what you thought disappeared... was simply waiting to be seen.
