Do You Look at the Sky?

Do You Look at the Sky? is a tender and poetic picture book that explores loss, memory, and love through the eyes of a young child. Though the narrator never met the special person their family still grieves, they’ve come to know them through stories — and the sky above.​

As the child gazes at clouds and feels the warmth of the sun and the touch of the wind, they imagine the presence of the one they’ve lost. With heartfelt curiosity and gentle wisdom, the story touches on big questions little ones often ask: Why do people have to die? Where do they go? How can we still feel close to someone who’s gone?

​

This beautifully written book offers a comforting way to talk about grief and remembrance with children, celebrating the ways we can hold onto love even when someone is no longer with us.

​

This story explores grief with softness and hope, with inviting warm, expressive illustrations that capture emotion, nature, and the wonder of a child’s perspective.

What began as a deeply personal story, written in memory of my son Cooper, has received recognition I could never have imagined.

​

I'm incredibly proud to share that Do You Look at the Sky? has achieved three wonderful milestones:

  • WINNER – Most Heartwarming, 2026 SLVR Children's Book Awards

  • FINALIST – Picture Perfect, 2026 SLVR Children's Book Awards

  • TOP 10% – Writing Excellence, 2026 SLVR Children's Book Awards

Beautifully illustrated by Caroline Keys, this little book was created to help children understand grief, love and the connections that remain, even with someone they never had the chance to meet.

While these achievements bring enormous pride, they also come with mixed emotions. More than any award, what means the most is knowing that Cooper's name is being spoken, his story is being shared and this book is reaching families who may find comfort within its pages.
