Overview

If a child in your life is having a tough time with their emotions when a parent travels, a friend moves to another town, loved ones live a long distance away, or a special person or pet passes on, 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 of We'll Always Share the Moon 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 illustrations in We'll Always Share the Moon are bold, bright, and beautiful. Artist Arianne Quinn's drawings bring the characters to life and will capture the imagination of your child. Use the scenes as a natural conversation starter 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 dialog and share wonderful memories about those you're missing and grieving. The main characters in We'll Always Share the Moon, who are based on the author's own children, are surrounded by people they love, as well as their lovable grey and white furry friend. Can your child find her on every page? Sometimes she's sweet and sometimes she's mischievous!

"This book is just beautiful. I have small children and live halfway around the world from my family, at times of feeling homesick this book provides the perfect comfort. I am, however, yet to make it through the book without shedding a tear. Just beautiful. - James G. Beautiful book about the big feelings we all feel when we are missing someone! Touches on many different times when we are separated from our loved ones and will benefit kids in many different situations. Heartwarming book! I highly recommend it! - Melissa Taylor I read this to the kids I work with. They thoroughly enjoyed it! After we finished, I asked if there was anyone they were missing. For each answer, we said ""but you still share the moon with them!"" This brought big smiles to all their faces. I highly recommend this book for all littles. It's a beautiful book that provides comfort to anyone struggling with missing someone they love. - lmichelson1"

Author Information

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. 'We'll Always Share the Moon' 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. Arianne Quinn (Ari) is an Illustrator and Graphic designer born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada). Ari lives with her wife Lisa, and three dogs, Benny, Oreo, and Daisy in a charming 108-year-old house where Ari finds inspiration for her freelance business and passion projects alike. Alongside We'll Always Share the Moon, Ari has previously illustrated books titled Sassy Skeletons, and The Best Concert Ever.
