In this relatable and reassuring contemporary classic, a mother tells her two children that they're all connected by an invisible string.

The Invisible Leash
Summary
From the author of the modern classic and best-selling phenomenon The Invisible String comes a tender story about permanent loss that also celebrates the joy that animals give us in this life and beyond. "When our pets aren't with us anymore, an Invisible Leash connects our hearts to each other. Forever." That's what Zack's friend Emily tells him after his dog dies. Zack doesn't believe it. He only believes in what he can see. But on an enlightening journey through their neighborhood - and through his grief - he comes to feel the comforting tug of the Invisible Leash. And it feels like love. Best-selling author Patrice Karst's gentle story uses the same bonding technique from her classic book The Invisible String to help listeners through the experience of the loss of a beloved animal.
