I'll See You in My Dreams

A parent might reach for this book when preparing a child for a hospital visit or helping them process the serious illness of a loved one. The story follows a young girl whose uncle is very sick. As she sits in the backseat of the car on the way to the hospital, she feels worried and helpless. She then escapes into a beautiful daydream where she becomes a pilot, flying a plane that skywrites a message of love directly over her uncle's bed. This gentle and poetic book validates a child's feelings of anxiety while offering a powerful message about how imagination and love can be active, comforting forces. It is an excellent tool for children aged 4 to 7 to open a conversation about difficult emotions in a safe, hopeful way.
