From the Publisher

Part of Everything is More Than a Book, It’s a Heartwarming Hug of Reassurance

Part of Everything is a heartwarming, beautifully illustrated children’s (and adult) book that explores the themes of love, loss, and the enduring bonds that connect us all.

This poignant tale gently reminds us that while a person may have physically left, they remain a part of everything around us – from the shooting star and the glowing moon to the soft song of a mockingbird and the first bloom of spring.

This book celebrates life in all forms, reminding us that we are all interconnected in the grand tapestry of existence. It teaches children about the cycle of life and death gently and upliftingly, emphasizing that those we love are never truly gone. They live on in our memories, in the natural world, and in the very air we breathe.

Part of Everything is more than just a story – it’s a comforting hug, a quiet reassurance, and a tender lullaby that will resonate with readers of all ages. It’s a must-read for anyone who has ever loved, lost, and remembered.

We Are Made From the Universe and Return After We Depart

The Universe provides the beauty and structure that forms our bones and our skin, our lungs and our heart, our body and our life.

We can see this everywhere. In everyone:

I’m the shooting star

The planet’s verse

The glowing moon

The Universe

There is Life in the Sadness, Pushing Through The Drab

Life is always there, discovering a new way to flourish. This reminds us that our loved one – now a part of everything – is here too. Just beside us when we look:

The seedling’s push

The bee’s swift swarm

First morning-dew

The thunderstorm

The Season’s Pass, Just Like Our Lives

The changing of the seasons provides a natural and beautiful parallel to human life. A way to gently explain birth and death, love and loss:

The spring’s first bloom

The summer’s glow

The autumn wind

The winter snow

Alternate book versions: One for the loss of a boy, one for the loss of a girl

This beautiful book comes in two versions: One for the loss of a boy, one for the loss of a girl.

This page shares ways we can find our loved on after they die:

You’ll know me in

The ant’s long walk

A calm, deep breath

A baby’s talk
