When Emily loses her beloved grandmother, a ladybug named Sheila appears — the very name her grandmother had. Little by little, Emily understands: her grandmother has come back to her, as Sheila the ladybug, to comfort her and stay close. The Ladybug Who Lived on a Four Leaf Clover is a gentle picture book about grief and enduring love for children ages 4–8, written by Emily Franke and illustrated by her twin sister Haley after the loss of their own grandmother. It offers a grieving child the most comforting idea there is — that the people we love don't really leave us. A tender choice for a family facing the loss of a grandparent, a Grandparents' Day gift for the ones who are remembering, and a read-aloud counselors reach for. Pair it with our free family keepsake, Remembering Together. Perfect for: grieving children, school counselors and SEL staff, and any grown-up looking for the right words.
