The Pocket Rock: A Story About Grief, Growth, and the Love That StaysWhen Oliver finds a small, heavy rock in his pocket one day, he doesn't know where it came from-or why it makes his heart feel heavy too. As he carries it through his days, Oliver begins to understand that the rock is grief. It's the ache of missing someone he loves.Through gentle storytelling and comforting illustrations, The Pocket Rock helps children recognize and name their feelings, showing them that grief can feel heavy, confusing, and lonely-but that they are never truly alone. As Oliver learns to talk about his rock and share it with others, he discovers that love remains even after loss, and that healing begins when we let ourselves feel.Written by a licensed funeral director and mother, The Pocket Rock is a tender, reassuring resource for families navigating the complex emotions of loss. Ideal for children ages 4 and up, this book opens the door for meaningful conversations about death, remembrance, and resilience.
