What to expect
For a quarter of a century, The Invisible String has helped comfort and heal millions of readers by easing separation anxiety, loneliness, and loss, while also exploring the intangible yet unbreakable connections between us all. This newly reimagining of this celebration of love answers the call from countless fans for a diverse range of children and families to be included in this contemporary all-ages classic.
When a mom and dad tell their twins that they’re all connected by an Invisible String, the children insist that’s impossible. But still, they want to know more: What kind of string? The answer is one that people around the world have been sharing for a generation, and it’s the simple truth that binds us all: It’s an Invisible String made of love. Even if you can’t see it, you can feel it deep in your heart and know that you are always connected to the ones you love.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025, The Invisible String is truly the perfect gift for all occasions and now more accessible to families of all kinds.
