The illustrations are wonderful, working with the story to create a safe space to open up about overwhelming emotions and how to deal with them. 'Storm in a Jar' is a beautiful book that talks tenderly to children as they journey through their grief towards the light and hope that life still holds.

The story is written by adoptive dad Samuel Langley-Swain, founder of Owlet Press, and was inspired by his children's experiences. When my son used the 'storm in a jar' metaphor as a very clear way to describe how his anger and frustration were building inside him, I knew instantly this would be a great visual story, Sam says, I think a lot of books that work around loss (or bereavement) portray abstract ways to describe the loss itself and don't address the emotional aftermath - to me this is the most important bit!
