Raindrops & Rainbows
a storybook keepsake
Raindrops & Rainbows walks little ones gently through the experience of losing someone they love — with honesty, tenderness, and hope. It's a story about the people who stay with us even when they're gone, told in a way a child can hold onto.
Inside, there are journaling pages — a place for you to write what you'd want them to know. Your memories of the person they lost. The things you'd tell them on a hard day. The love you want them to carry forward.
Read together. Written in together. Kept forever.
We'll reach out as soon as Raindrops & Rainbows is ready to order.
What's inside
A story. And a place for yours.
Most children's books are meant to be read. This one is meant to be kept. Alongside the story, you'll find journaling pages designed for the people who love them most — a space to write the words that will matter long after the reading is done.
A letter for a hard day
Write what you'd want them to read when grief feels too big to carry alone.
A memory worth keeping
Capture the person they've lost in your own words — the small moments, the ones you never want them to forget.
The love you want them to carry forward
Leave behind something they can return to, again and again, as they grow.
The journey so far
Made with care, every step of the way.
Raindrops & Rainbows is being brought to life with the same intention that lives at the heart of EverWritten — slowly, carefully, and with love. Here's where we are.

I wrote Raindrops & Rainbows for Miley and Sadie — and for every child who has ever felt the absence of someone they love. The journaling pages inside are for the rest of us: the ones still here, who have so much left to say.
