Finding Grace

Finding Grace is an interactive, hide and seek picture book that recounts a mother’s search for her daughter, Grace. In trying to locate her daughter, the mother keeps looking in all the wrong places, until she is directed to travel to the Castle of Light.

Overcoming many challenges, she finally locates her daughter, but has to answer a riddle before she can be reunited with her. The hide and seek format of the book invites readers to search for Grace on each page. It is a fun and interactive book. It sends the message to kids that there is no bounds or lengths that a parent will not go for their child.

The story also sends the message to parents that they can overcome their mental health issues and shine optimism into their dark states. Metaphorically, this is displayed by having a small whole in a garbage barrel, thus shining in physical light. Practically, this means making a small whole (adjustment) in the dark part of your life which affects your parenting. Children are always watching and to prevent our issues in being their future issues, let's talk with our kids about hard topics in ways they can understand.

Lastly, the final message of this book is to parents who are currently withheld from their children. The separation could be due to travelling work or custody battles, etc. Whatever the reason, it hurts when we are not with our children. But we must know they are safe, and happy, and soon we will hold them again. The hardest part is not giving up in between. "Finding Grace", encourages you to courage on."
