“The Promise String” by Lydya Soza Castillo is a sweet story that shows kids why promises sometimes need to change. Life happens, but love never fades. I can’t wait to read it with my 3- and 5-year-old grandchildren!

I absolutely loved this book! As parents, we often carry so much guilt over broken promises, sometimes from things we can control, sometimes not. But one thing is true: love is never broken. If you’re looking for a book that will touch your heart and your children’s, this is one you absolutely need to have. A beautiful reminder that even in imperfection, love always remains.

Just finished reading The Promise String by the incredibly talented Lydya Soza Castillo! It’s a touching, relatable story that speaks to the heart of both children and parents. The characters feel real, the emotions run deep. ✨ My daughters found it to be such a sweet and honest reflection of life’s little truths. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lydya, and she’s been such a gift! She’s helped me with projects that went beyond my own expertise, and I’m so grateful for her. If you have young children and looking for some new books, I highly recommend The Promise String AND her other gem, The Goose Who Hit Snooze. Find them on Amazon! Two thumbs up from my family! Grab her books, you’ll love them.
