A Gentle Story for Children Carrying Big Feelings
Wren’s Wish is a comforting Christian children’s book created to help young hearts navigate grief, longing, and love that stretches beyond what we can see.
When Wren misses Mommy Bird, she learns that even when someone feels far away, love and prayer can still reach them.
Through soft storytelling and tender illustrations, this book offers reassurance to children experiencing loss - helping them feel safe, seen, and supported in their emotions.
Perfect for bedtime reading, grief support, family devotionals, or moments when a child needs comfort and hope.
This book is perfect for:
Adoptive and foster families
Children separated from loved ones
Children experiencing grief or the loss
of a parent, loved one, friend, or pet
Military families facing deployment or separation
Caregivers, counselors, teachers, and therapists supporting grieving children
Rooted in Prayer
& God's Nearness
At the heart of Wren’s Wish is the reminder that God hears every prayer - even the quiet ones whispered through tears.
This story gently points children toward hope, teaching them that love doesn’t disappear, and God’s presence is always close.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.
