This Letter Says I Love You

Description

“This Letter Says I Love You tells a universal story about missing a loved one that is guaranteed to resonate with readers of all ages. I defy anyone to read it without shedding a tear” - Charlotte Heathcote, The Daily Express

Inspired by 10-year-old Matilda Handy's memorial post boxes, as featured on the BBC The One Show. A heartfelt picture book about celebrating and remembering loved ones.

Keep sharing the things that you wish you could say.

Our letters to loved ones will all find their way . . .

Matilda misses her grandma a lot and wishes she could talk to her again. Some days she feels sad. And some days she remembers all the happy memories they shared together.

But what if there was still a way to tell her grandma just how much she loves her? After all, the ones we love are always with us.

Based on a true story, this beautiful picture book shows how we can stay connected to those we've lost by writing them letters.

Matilda's idea of creating a post box to send letters to those who have passed on has taken root across the country, and now children and adults can post letters to their loved ones in one of her special white post boxes.

Including a letter written by Matilda Handy, for her grandmother

Matilda's original postbox was set up in Gedling Crematorium and over 40 more postboxes have now been introduced across the UK

With lyrical, hopeful text by Lucy Rowland
