The Golden String 

Written and illustrated by Geoffry Smalley

A girl watches as her mom packs for yet another work trip. Every time, it gets harder. This time, a special gift from Mama helps remind her that no matter how far apart they are, they are always connected.

The Golden String is a book for every kid who has a loved one who is away. Rich, emotional imagery immerses the reader with a young kid who is developing coping skills that can help get them through even the most frustrating day. No matter the distance, our love is our own special golden string keeping us connected.

Author and illustrator Geoffry Smalley is an illustrator who lives and works in a green, tucked away corner of North Portland with his wife, 11 year old kid, and a tiny dog that is just one click above a stuffed animal. After receiving his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2002 and working as a gallery artist, muralist, painting and drawing teacher, and art conservator, he realized that making books for children is really what he wants to do when he grows up. The Golden String is his debut author/illustrator book. Find more of his work at www.geoffrysmalleystudio.com.
