Daddy's in my belly...and all around

Daddy’s in My Belly… and All Around is a tender and deeply moving picture book that helps young children understand love, loss, and remembrance through the eyes of a child.

Told in gentle, simple language, the story follows a little one who shares a world full of play, laughter, and everyday magic with Daddy. From toy cars and football goals to silly jokes and warm hugs, Daddy is always there. When illness changes everything and Daddy can no longer play, the child begins a quiet journey through confusion, sadness, and longing. After Daddy dies, the world feels different, but love does not disappear.

Through comforting moments with Mammy, cherished memories, and a child’s beautiful imagination, Daddy is rediscovered in the heart, in the belly, in songs, stars, rainbows, and courage. He is felt all around, in strength, kindness, and bravery passed on.

Written with honesty and warmth, this book offers reassurance to grieving children and the adults who love them. It opens the door to conversations about death in a way that feels safe, loving, and hopeful, reminding readers that while someone may no longer be seen, their love can remain forever present.
