The Invisible String is about two children overcoming loneliness and separation anxiety when their mother explains to them that there is an invisible string which connects them. What is the invisible string? It is a string of love and whenever one thinks about another there is a gentle tug on that string.
The bonds created early in life often become guides for the future, so it is important that they are secure and healthy. Most children go through a stage of separation anxiety. This book does a good job at addressing these issues (loneliness and separation anxiety) in a sentimental manner. There is also the idea of interconnectedness, if one takes that invisible string to the next level. This indirectly implies the need for compassion and empathy for all people. Overall, the story is memorable and relatable and it is a good reference book to have in one's "difficult concept" arsenal.
