"I WILL FIND YOU EVERYWHERE" is an exceptional story of love, loss, and learning to find new ways of living that includes the ones who have left too soon. "I sat down on the dewy grass, And looked up at the sky. And when the sun looked back I saw, The twinkle in your eye. It glistened as I squinted, Like sparkles in the sea. I knew that it was you up there, Yes, watching over me." Author and artist Deborah DeLisi's beautifully illustrated tale told in verse touchingly shows how love always lives on in so many places-especially the heart. It is a story of two inseparable friends (two colorful circles) who share a special place in each others lives through their adventures and playful times together. When one is no longer here anymore, the friend looks for him/her in all the places they loved to go. What is discovered in those places is a special gift that readers of all ages will treasure and hold close to their hearts. What's the gift? The answer lies in the title, but the beautiful revelation comes at the end and will touch you in ways that will live on in your heart. A beautiful story to help children (and adults) deal with loss of a loved one. Deborah's rich-yet-simple illustrations are genderless and ageless, and will help you find your loved one everywhere you are. Featuring 27 beautiful color illustrations by the author and artist, Deborah DeLisi, that will speak to kids of all ages for generations to come.

She has spoken to groups in the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, Israel and Europe, weaving threads of personal experience with that of her audience. Her creativity is a companion to her own life challenges. Getting beyond deep personal losses, and the death of her 29 year old daughter allow her to write and draw from a place of authenticity. Through it all, Deb maintains a belief in the power of love and the importance of finding ways to engage with the life you're given.
