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

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.

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.
