Missing someone: when your child misses a person
Dad is away for work, grandma lives far away, the best friend moved. Missing someone is a feeling that hardly any children's book covers.
What's behind this feeling
Missing someone is love across a distance. It tugs in the chest because someone important isn't here.
What can help
Build a bridge: draw a picture, send a voice message, make a calendar until you see each other again. That gives the missing something to do.
What the book says
These texts appear exactly like this on the double page. Read them aloud while your child colors.
This is Wisty, the missing-you unicorn. Wisty shows up when someone you love is far away – then something tugs a little at your heart. Wisty only visits people who love someone very, very much.
The questions
Where do you feel Wisty? Does it tug in your chest? Do you keep thinking about the same person? Who do you miss sometimes? What is the first thing you two will do when you see each other again?
The trick: The bridge
Draw a picture for the person you miss, or record them a little voice message together. It is like a bridge made of love.
