Grandpa’s Little Signs – A Heartfelt Children’s Book About Love, Loss & the Signs Our Loved Ones Send
Grandpa’s Little Signs is a tender, comforting children’s book that helps kids understand grief, loss, and the beautiful ways our loved ones stay connected with us.
This story was written for my own nieces after they lost their grandfather, and it was inspired by my personal journey of losing my husband, sister, and dad. Through my family’s experiences, I’ve come to believe that love doesn’t end — and the little signs we see remind us that the people we miss are still with us in their own way.
In the book, two young sisters navigate the loss of their beloved grandfather, supported by their mom and Aunt B, as they begin noticing the signs he sends from heaven: a bright red cardinal, a fluttering butterfly, a shiny penny, and precious memories that warm their hearts.
Perfect for ages 4–10, this story blends comfort, hope, and a touch of humor through real family moments: grandpa’s silly jokes, teasing about being a slow “turtle” driver, and the card games of Trouble and Uno (where he always accused the kids of “cheating” when he lost!).
What this book helps children with:
Understanding grief in a gentle, age-appropriate way
Recognizing spiritual “signs” from loved ones
Knowing that our loved ones stay close in spirit
Feeling safe talking about loss
Remembering that love continues beyond the physical world
Who this book is perfect for:
Children who recently lost a grandparent
Grief baskets & sympathy gifts
Counselors, therapists, teachers, & support groups
Families who believe in signs from heaven
Anyone wanting to comfort a child who feels the loss of someone special

All of my orders are custom and personalized. I want them to be the best that they can be. Please check your message for a convo from me within 24 hours of your order (usually within an hour or two). So I can make sure your order is exactly what you want. I will send samples to chose from.

Custom and personalized orders
Many items are personalized and custom. ALL my items are hand made. So each one may be unique and different. Colors may vary slightly on the ribbon. Thank you for understanding (especially during the pandemic, it is hard to find the exact same color but I continue to strive to make your products the best!)
How many bars do I get?
Almost all my orders are now in amounts such as 5, 10, 20, etc... You can pull down the "amount" section. If for instance, you need an amount not listed (example 80 bars) you can put two orders (or three, whatever you need) to add to the amount you need. Adding to your cart won't automatically check you out. So you will be able to see the total before you purchase. Thanks!!

Sizing details
I will add a sizing chart to any listings for clothes and bodysuits. The best way to make sure the outfit will fit is to measure a shirt that you have, that is your favorite. I know for me, all the shirts fit differently! I can wear three different sizes. So please measure your favorite shirt and go by those measurements. My personal policy is when in doubt, go a size up. But I know not everyone wants their t-shirts big. I will accept exchanges on non-personalized shirts. I understand things happen. You will need to pay for return shipping.
