Leah Is a Dragonfly Now

A True Story of Grief and Everlasting Friendship

De: Sarah McLean

Narrado por: Gwen Carole

Based on the award-winning animated short film, this poignant, touching, and uplifting picture book about grief reminds us that loved ones never truly leave our side, and that they can even take shape as tiny, little dragonflies.

When Celine’s best friend dies, she decides to wear a dragonfly bracelet to keep her close. After Celine and her family escape a car accident unharmed, she realizes she has lost the dragonfly bracelet. Rattled by the scary and unexpected series of events, Celine determines they must have a guardian angel watching over them.

Dragonflies symbolize transformation from a physical presence to a spiritual one. All too often we lose loved ones only to wonder where they’ve gone and if we’ll ever see them again. In this true story of life, death, and everlasting friendship, Leah Is A Dragonfly Now helps listeners cope with the loneliness, sadness, and anxiety we may feel after someone we love leaves us. Leah, now a dragonfly, reminds her best friend that she will always be by her side, even if she doesn’t see her, and will always be looking out for her.

“Hi, friend. I’m here with you and always will be.”

A heartwarming gift for older children and adults who have suffered loss and want to stay connected to their loved ones.

Sweet story about dealing with death

As a parent, helping my children understand and process death is a big job. This book is a sweet story that handles death in a straightforward but easy-to-process manner. I lost my dad a long time ago - so I tell my kids that when I see butterflies, it's my dad. Now I can tell them our loved ones live on in dragonflies too!

A very touching story, sweetly written by Sarah McLean and beautifully narrated by Gwen Carole. I'd recommend this book for someone of any age who is dealing with grief and loss.

This is a wonderfully sweet story that highlights how we can remain connected to loved ones who have died. The story is accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages. The narration is well performed, and the production quality is excellent and even includes immersive sound effects that keep the listener engaged throughout.

Great Book! Great Film

Leah is a Dragonfly now was beautiful, powerful, and very well read. I was so impressed with the narration for this book. If you have a chance, a great combo is to watch the movie after listening to the book. Very cool to see how Sarah McLean visualized this story.

A beautiful look at grief

I saw the animated version of this and definitely had to hear the audiobook version. Grief is a touchy subject for children and adults alike, and this story handles it so well. As someone who has lost people close to them, this audiobook brought me comfort just as the short animation had. It's a great reminder and great way to honor those we have lost.

Beautiful Story

This is a beautiful book and is narrated very nicely. I look forward to sharing the story with my nephew.

A touching memory of everlasting friendship.

This story is a great read that helps you recognize that even though someone is no longer here, their spirit is still with you. It is a celebration of the relationships that we have had and the reminders that we see every day.

Share with loved ones

I am a big believer in signs and protective totems. This book is a perfect example of how our love for those that have passed can be transmuted into daily remembrances. The reader has a lovely cadence that delivers the story in an evocative manner that maintains the respect and solemnity it deserves.
Well done!

The bracelet

What a sweet way to teach anyone, at any age, about losing a friend and giving someone who has suffered that loss the comfort of knowing the person is with them every day.
