About this title

Synopsis

We'll Always Share the Moon is intended to be read with young children to help them process several types of loss, longing, and grief.

If a child in your life is feeling sad when a parent travels, a friend moves away, loved ones live elsewhere, or a special person or pet passes away, We’ll Always Share the Moon reminds kids that no matter how far apart they may be from those they care for, that they’re always sharing the same big bright moon.

When loved ones travel…
When a parent works far from home…
When a best bud moves away…
When relatives live in another town or even country…
When someone you love passes away…
When you experience the loss of a pet...
And when little ones grow bigger than the adults who’ve raised them…

They’ll always share the moon.

The final passage gently explains to children that it’s okay to feel sad sometimes, but when feelings become too big and too scary, the child must share their truths with an adult in their lives whom they trust.

The words in this book are a natural conversation starter for kids and adults to talk about feelings of sadness, loneliness, grief, and love. Chat with your child about how they might feel in similar situations. Consider ways they might cope with their big feelings. Use the characters’ experiences to open a dialogue and share wonderful memories about those you’re missing and grieving for.

Can your child find the family's lovable grey and white furry friend on every page? Sometimes she’s sweet and sometimes she’s mischievous!

About the Author
Born and raised in small-town Saskatchewan (Canada), Shannon Savory and her cat Daisy now live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with husband Mike and expert cat treat fetchers Austin and Dylan. This is her first book, which is 11 years in the making – not surprisingly, the same age as her oldest son. As a working mom, she wrote each section in her head during the quiet moments; driving the kids to daycare and school, while they played together in their make-believe worlds, and when laying with them at night as they drifted to sleep. Publishing We’ll Always Share the Moon allows her to finally check children’s book author off her bucket list.
