Every book we make is a thread
Some spun for small hands, some for hands that have held on through harder weather — all of them woven from the same gold. Here is where the threads gather. There's more below, and more still on the loom.
Why families choose The Golden Thread
Helena wrote this story for her own family first — to make sense of a hard year with honesty, without ever frightening a child. What started as a private story became a book other parents asked for, too.
Written with warmth and honesty
Helena drew on her own recovery to write a story that's gentle and hopeful — never scary for a young reader.
Illustrated to comfort
Soft, welcoming illustrations designed to reassure young readers. Final illustrations coming soon
A keepsake for the family
