I Miss You

A beautiful and gentle story about saying goodbye and letting go. For everyone ages 5 years and up.

There's a hole in my heart

in the shape of your laugh.

But not because I don't see you any longer.

It's because I keep seeing you

where you aren't anymore.

Sometimes grieving children--and adults--can feel overwhelmed by memories. What happens when missing someone is all we can think about? Is there any way to move through the missing without forgetting the person we loved?

About the Author

Dutch author Rik Peters wants his stories to be a place of safety. No matter who you are or what's going on in the outside world, his books offer a space that's open to everyone. Rik fills his stories with remarkable characters and unpredictable situations; there's always something unusual going on. But readers know that they're secure and welcome, even if it's just for the duration of a story.

Belgian illustrator Federico Van Lunter always tries to surround himself with things that make him smile and people that he loves. This constant quest for joy and happiness also shines through in his illustrations. Whether it's in bright colors or dark details, in still lines or lively typography, Federico hopes his work encourages people to open up to experiences, to others, and to themselves because there's beauty everywhere.
