Inspired by 10-year-old Matilda Handy's memorial post
boxes, as featured on the BBC The One Show.
A heartfelt picture book about celebrating and remembering loved
ones.
Keep sharing the things that you wish you could say.
Our letters to loved ones will all find their way . . .
Matilda misses her grandma a lot and wishes she could talk to
her again. Some days she feels sad. And some days she remembers
all the happy memories they shared together.
But what if there was still a way to tell her grandma just how
much she loves her? After all, the ones we love are always
with us.
Based on a true story, this beautiful picture
book shows how we can stay connected to those we've lost by writing
them letters.
Matilda's idea of creating a post box to send letters to those
who have passed on has taken root across the country, and now children
and adults can post letters to their loved ones in one of
her special white post boxes.
Including a letter written by Matilda Handy, for her grandmother
Matilda's original postbox was set up in Gedling Crematorium
and over 40 more postboxes have now been introduced across the UK
With lyrical, hopeful text by Lucy Rowland
Sharon Rentta's heart-warming illustrations bring Matilda's story
to life
The perfect picture book to support children who have lost a
loved one
