Not every child has a crowd of their own
Sam watched in silence, his head slightly bowed, while other families cheered from the sidelines.
House of Cave
Someone Always Sees You
Family isn't only the people related to you by blood — it's also the people who show up. A gentle story for ages 3–8, with everything a classroom needs to explore it together.
Inside the story
“I see you, dear Sam, and I believe in you”
His teacher knelt down. Your family looks different, she told him — but you're not alone.
The coach, the teammates
Rides to practice. Cheers for a good try. Sam wasn't friendless, though his family was small.
Mr. Bell, from his porch
A wave, every single time Sam walked by. Small things, repeated, become a circle.
The heart of the story
“There's a circle around you, your whole life long.”
The tree page is the heart of the book — a reminder that a circle of support is made of teachers, coaches, neighbours and friends, not only parents.
