This updated version that includes illustrations of children of color in more than the just the dedication page and removed the racist, slant lines for eyes depiction of Asian children reads much better than the original. I still have some hesitation about possible cultural appropriation of the invisible string metaphor but would be much more apt to use this book therapeutically with children than the original.

A gentle, reassuring book for children who have been separated from a loved one either by deployment, divorce or death. I bought it for my grieving young nephew when his mother died unexpectedly a couple of years ago, but I have also recommended it for children who are experiencing separation anxiety, sadness or worry when apart from a loved one.
