When the Dragonfly Finds the Sky by Chloe James is a heartwarming children's tale. In a beautiful pond, little water bugs live happily among the reeds and lily pads. They swim, play, and laugh together. However, every once in a while, one of those water bugs would feel a little tug inside that leads them to climb a tall green reed. The little bugs wait underwater for their friend to come back. But they never return. One day, a big water bug named Shane feels a similar tug inside. Although he doesn't want to leave his friends and family behind, he eventually reaches the top of the reed and transforms into a magnificent dragonfly. With the warm sunshine around him, Shane feels happier than ever.
If you want to gently teach children how to navigate loss and grief with faith and love, grab a copy of Chloe James' When the Dragonfly Finds the Sky: A Story of Love that Never Ends. It's a tale about learning to accept loss by acknowledging and embracing God's love. It's a picture book for children, but even older readers will find plenty to love about this wonderful story. I certainly did. This engaging narrative is both whimsical and illuminating. It leaves you with warmth and a sense of joy that puts a smile on your face. Shane's story arc will resonate with children and older readers alike. The author's illustrations make the book even more immersive for young readers. All in all, it's a five-star picture book.
