My Father’s Kite connects two sibling’s experience of profound loss to nature and the logical sequence of the seasons as a way to bridge, explore, and validate their feelings and grief. While maintaining a deep bond with their father and family traditions, the story focuses on hope and love.
“This book, with its beautiful story and gorgeous illustrations, is perfect for a family who suffers with loss or for those who love someone who grieves. The vibrant pictures appeal to even the youngest reader while the sensitive path the story weaves along invites us, evoking joy and hope even in such a tender subject matter. Sorrow is not glossed over but instead addressed sensibly as a necessary step in moving through heartbreak. As an elementary school teacher and child & adolescent therapist, I can’t recommend this book enough.”

“This book is a wonderful read, well-written and moving. The story really touched me. I am a bereaved mother, having lost my son to cancer many years ago. I found it to be authentically told. My life's work has become supporting others who have had devastating losses. I plan to donate this book to the library at Bereaved Families of Ontario - Toronto so others can find comfort. Thank you Veronica!”

"My Father's Kite is a beautifully written narrative that addresses love and loss and how to make one's peace with missing someone one has loved. It's meant for children, but I suspect it will give comfort to anyone of any age who has lost a loved one.”
