When someone we love dies, it can feel like a storm inside.

The Waves in My Heart: Sofía's Story is a gentle, beautifully illustrated picture book that helps children aged 4-8 understand and express their grief - and know they are never alone.

Following Sofía as she navigates the big feelings that come after losing her Abuela, this book weaves together a tender story with practical "Try This" activities on every other page - from bubble breathing and memory boxes to goodnight messages and remembering days.

Written with warmth and clinical care, The Waves in My Heart reassures children that:

• It is never their fault
• All their feelings are allowed
• Love doesn't stop - it just changes shape

A Note for Grown-Ups at the back gives parents, carers, and teachers clear, honest guidance on supporting a grieving child.

Perfect for:

• Families who have experienced a bereavement
• School counsellors and classroom use
• Therapists and grief support workers
• Anyone looking for a compassionate, activity-based grief resource for young children
