With You,
I Am Always

​

A gentle story about love, connection, and the invisible threads that keep us close, no matter the distance.

​

When someone we love is far away, it can be difficult for little hearts to understand that love doesn't disappear with distance.

​

Children often experience big feelings during times of separation. They may miss someone deeply while still enjoying everyday adventures, celebrations, and special moments. Sometimes those feelings can exist together, and that's okay.

​

With You, I Am Always is a gentle story of reassurance, reminding children that the people they love remain connected to them through memories, love, and the special moments they carry in their hearts.

​

Written with military families in mind, but meaningful for any family navigating separation, this story opens the door to important conversations about connection, belonging, resilience, and the many ways we stay close even when we're apart.

The Hardcover Keepsake Edition

The hardcover is designed to be more than just a book on the shelf. It is a keepsake edition, with dedicated pages inside for a personal message and name plate — creating a special place to make the story your child's own.

​

The Paperback

The paperback is a lovely, more affordable way to enjoy the story and will be available in limited quantities.

Unlike the hardcover, the paperback does not include the dedicated pages for personalisation and a name plate.​

Whichever format you choose, I hope With You, I Am Always finds a special place on your bookshelf — and in the hearts of the little people you love.

​Why Families Connect With This Story

​

Children often understand feelings long before they understand distance.

This story helps children put words around big emotions while offering reassurance that love remains constant, even when circumstances change.

​

More than a story, it's a reminder that connection can be felt across oceans, across states, across households, and through the everyday moments that matter most.

​

It's a book families can return to whenever they need a little extra comfort, reassurance, or a reminder that they are never truly far apart.
