Overview

When someone a child loves isn't always there with them, separation can stir emotions that are hard to name. For many parents and caregivers, explaining why someone has to go is only one part. The other part is holding space for the feelings the separation brings for the child. Near or Far is a gentle, beautifully told story for moments like these. Matt and Flo are inseparable. When distance pulls them apart, both must learn how to hold onto connection even when things change on the outside. Through their bond, children are invited to explore what it means to miss someone, to feel unsettled by change, and to discover that relationships don't disappear when the person isn't physically present with them. This story doesn't rush feelings away or offer false reassurance. Instead, it helps children make sense of change - and find steadiness within it. Designed for children aged 3-8, Near or Far is part of a thoughtfully crafted series created to help young readers navigate life's big emotions in a way that feels safe, relatable, and empowering. What makes this book different: Whether separation is caused by travel, relocation, changing routines, or living apart from someone they love, this story gives children language for their feelings - and caregivers a calm, supportive way to help. Near or Far is not just a story to be read once. It's a story to return to - whenever change feels hard.
