Liam's father dies but the truth is that Liam doesn't fully understand what this means. He wonders if his dad is hiding. Liam searches in all the obvious places until his dreams lead him to the sky where he feels his dad's presence all around him. In this sensitive and tender book, Liam learns that just as the sky is everywhere, so, too, is his father's love. Because the Sky is Everywhere helps children accept that even though someone close to them dies, the love they feel can be everlasting.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Just like grieving grown-ups, grieving children naturally have questions about where the person who died has gone. This compassionate story offers a reassuring, loving answer. This resource reminds us that any child old enough to love is old enough to mourn. --Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt, author of Healing A Child s Grieving Heart, Founder, Center for Loss & Life Transition

This beautiful book provides just the right kind of spiritual, healing hope for young children and families who have experienced profound loss. --Dr. Heidi Horsley, PsyD, LMSW, MS, Co-Founder, Open to Hope, Adjunct Professor, Columbia University

I wish Because the Sky Is Everywhere was available for my young daughter when my husband suddenly passed away. Just as the boy in the book has the opportunity to follow his thoughts and emotions, she, too, searched for answers in her own special way. This is a perfect resource for the families I support and a gift to those in need. --Rachel Kodanaz, Grief & Loss Consultant, Author of Living with Loss, One Day at a Time and Grief in the Workplace

Hi there. Thanks for visiting my Amazon page.

By way of brief introduction, I'm a motivational speaker and award-winning author. What drives me? I'm passionate about helping individuals move from stuck, disappointment, and loss of all kinds toward growth and positive change. Read on and you'll learn why.

My debut memoir, Both Sides Now: A True Story of Love, Loss and Bold Living, promises hard-won wisdom for anyone who has experienced the death of a spouse, death of a partner, or death of any loved one. "When life hands you the unthinkable, you must find new ways to see." Such is the ground on which I rebuilt my world after my young husband died. I did so in Denver, Colorado. Against the sturdy backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, I built a new life for my five-year-old twins and me. I never expected to find love again in the pages of a magazine but, as I learned, when you put yourself in the path of living, amazing and unexpected things can happen. Ultimately, Both Sides Now is a story of hope. It is also a story about Steve, my second husband, a widower with two children, and about the surprising turns that life takes when blending two families torn by loss.

My new book is for children and families and is called Because the Sky is Everywhere. Inspired by own twins' experience after their dad died, Because the Sky is Everywhere helps children accept that even though someone close to them dies, the love they feel can be everlasting. Whether mourning the death of a parent, death of a grandparent, death of a sibling, or death of a pet, this book is a resource for children and families, teachers, psychologists, social workers and non-profit organizations. Available in English and as a bilingual text in English-Spanish, Because the Sky is Everywhere can also be customized for specific audiences. See the video on my Amazon page to learn more about the story and how groups are using the resource to help grieving kids and families find creative expression after loss.

I blog for The Huffington Post and ESME.com and have also been published in The Best Advice in Six Words, Dr. Oz: The Good Life, Woman's Day, MORE, Marie Claire, SELF, National Geographic Traveler, Reimagine Me, Stand Up 2 Cancer, and numerous other media.

As a motivational speaker, I offer two programs for corporate audiences, associations, women's groups and non-profit groups.

I purchased Because the Sky is Everywhere after reading Both Sides Now. Both books are poignant, well written and address the sadness and confusion surrounding death and how we can learn to accept our emotions. Because the Sky is Everywhere beautifully illustrated and appropriate for a wide range of ages, adults included.

I read this lovely book two days ago, and have already shared it with a ten year old client . She has lost two sets of parents in her short life..her biological parents and her adoptive mother and father. We read the book together and then went outside to look at the sky accompanied by my two dogs. We sat up on the top of the hill right by my house/office and watched the sun set as she talked about her losses, and the dogs sat on either side of her. She said, "Now when I look at the sky, I am always going to look at it differently.'

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED THIS BOOK!
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2017
So this is a sweet beautiful book, but really it is also a primer on building positive, loving, open space for parents to stay connected with their children in times of loss and tragedy. It offers valuable words and ideas around keeping the relationship alive and honoring the person who is gone. We have this vehicle to attend to the children in times of grief; even small children that don’t yet understand death. It is a very helpful book, with wise guidance at the end for parents. I will certainly use it in my practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Forever Classic
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2017
I felt my heart strings tugged right out of the gate as I processed the emotions of a young child coming to grips with the death of his Father. You can feel the characters yearning and the heart-warming resolution as he realizes that his dad is in his heart everywhere and forever. While adults try and help children with grief, I was reminded how each child must come to terms with loss in his or her own way. I’ll be using Because the Sky is Everywhere with my grieving clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars A simple, beautiful way to support grieving hearts and minds of all ages!
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2017
Because the Sky is Everywhere, is a gentle reminder that death may end a life-- but not a relationship. As a therapist, I look forward to supporting clients in finding all the ways the every changing, vast sky can support them in their grief journey. This book should be recommended for grieving hearts age 3-133 (seriously!!!). Nancy and David combine their work to be simple, yet meaningful. The art of words, space, and images will help support grieving hearts to envision their story as they learn about the main character Liam's Story!

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2017
BECAUSE THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE is a beautifully written children's book which I, as an adult, also found profound meaning in the message.
Nancy Sharp has a gift for speaking to the pain experienced in death and loss and moving toward wholeness and love from these losses. This book is especially important, in my opinion, for helping children move from shame and emptiness to love and integration of the loss of their loved one.
