Things that Go Away

Béatrice Alemagna's 'Things that Go Away' is a tender and beautifully illustrated picture book that thoughtfully explores the concept of impermanence in a child-friendly way. Through poetic text and whimsical art, it highlights everyday examples of things that disappear or transform, such as tears drying, music fading, or bubbles popping. The book culminates in a comforting message: amidst all the changes, the love between a parent and child is a constant, unwavering presence. It's ideal for children aged 4-8, offering a gentle way to discuss big feelings about change and loss, while reinforcing the security of family bonds.

A playful ode to things that come and go in life--and the one special bond that never fades There are many things that go away: leaves fall, tears dry, music lasts only for a few moments, and bubbles pop, vanishing without a trace. Everything in life passes, moves on, or transforms--except one thing that never fades. With her signature warmth, playfulness, and beautiful illustrations, Beatrice Alemagna reminds us that in a changing world, the love between parent and child remains constant.
