A beautiful and bright little girl who loves nature and the outdoors is unsure if her mom is still with her. She discovers that when she misses her all she has to do is ask, "are you here?" And her mom will come say "hi" in the form of a rainbow, owl or butterfly. When all these magical signs appear she's reminded that her mom is always there, in everything and everywhere.
In Are You Here , a tender and heartfelt story unfolds through the eyes of a little girl learning to navigate the loss of her beloved mother. On days when sadness feels too heavy and doubts cloud her heart, she begins to notice small, magical signs--feathers on the ground, twinkling stars, soft breezes--that whisper her mother's love. These gentle moments become reminders that her mom is still with her, not in the way she once was, but in everything and everywhere.
This beautifully written book delicately weaves themes of grief, hope, and everlasting connection, offering young readers comfort and reassurance that love never truly leaves us. Jenny Robinson Clark's lyrical storytelling paired with Elisabetta Fantone's enchanting illustrations creates a magical world that inspires healing, imagination, and faith.
Are You Here? is more than a story--it's a gentle companion for children experiencing loss, a reminder that our loved ones are never far away, and a celebration of the signs they leave behind to say, "I'm still here."
