Description
Hi, Dad is a tender children’s book about grief and loss, love, and the beautiful little moments that remind us the people we love are never truly far away.
Inspired by the loss of my own dad, Ralph, this story began with the moments that made me stop and quietly say, “Hi, Dad”—a yellow butterfly, a brilliant sunset, a cardinal appearing at just the right time, and all the unexpected beauty that somehow feels like hello.
Hi, Dad gently invites children and families to notice those moments for themselves. Rather than trying to explain grief or provide all the answers, the story offers a simple, comforting way to stay connected to someone they miss: keep looking, keep noticing, and keep making room for love.
Created especially for children navigating loss, separation, or simply missing someone they love, this children’s book about grief and loss can open the door to conversations that are sometimes difficult to begin. Its message is gentle and universal: love doesn’t disappear when someone is no longer beside us. Sometimes, it simply changes the way we see the world.
Beautifully illustrated and written with tenderness, Hi, Dad is meant to be read together, revisited often, and treasured as a gentle reminder that love remains.

Thank you for being part of Hi, Dad from the very beginning. This book began with one daughter looking for her dad in the beauty around her. My hope is that it helps another child—or another family—discover that love can still find little ways to say hello. 🦋
