Discover how a young girl gains healing and hope as she processes the loss of a loved one in this beautifully sensitive story.

Piper is feeling sad and empty after the loss of her mother. So when her father gives her a telescope to cheer her up, she’s excited to explore the night sky. She finds a constellation of memories, a treasured collection of big and small moments with her mother, which she hurries to draw before they fade from view.

This poignant book offers children a pathway to acknowledge and process their grief over the loss of a loved one. An ending Note to Parents features guidance from a licensed children's counselor about how to use the book and where to find additional resources.
