What We Carry: A Story About Healing and the Space In Between

Sometimes we carry things that nobody else can see.

What We Carry is a gentle story about the feelings, experiences and memories we hold inside — and what can happen when we begin to make space for them.

Through a child’s journey of understanding and healing, this beautifully illustrated story explores what it means to feel overwhelmed, to carry difficult emotions, and to discover that healing doesn't always happen all at once.

With warmth, compassion and culturally grounded storytelling, What We Carry reminds children that they don't have to have all the answers, and that reaching out, talking and taking things one step at a time can make what we carry feel a little lighter.

A gentle story about healing, hope, connection and finding space for the things we carry.

Created for teenagers, and for the parents, caregivers and educators who walk alongside them.
