HOW ECHO WORKS
A Story to Read.
Feelings to Share.
Tools to Try Together.
The Pocket Kiss begins with Jade’s story. It gives you and your child a gentle way to talk about missing someone, practise together, and return to familiar words when goodbye feels hard.
Explore the story
INSIDE THE BOOK THREE MOMENTS TO RETURN TO
01 / READ & CONNECT
Let the story open a conversation.
Read together at a comfortable pace. If your child notices something about Jade’s feelings, pause and listen. You can invite a conversation without needing to finish every page in one sitting.
“How do you think Jade feels?”
If your child would rather listen, that is okay too.
02 / PAUSE & PRACTISE
Try a tool together.
When Jade practises a calming skill with Mommy, you can join in. Prefer to read straight through? Explore the Junior Toolkit at the end of the book afterward.
Take one slow breath.
Choose one or two favourite practices and revisit them during calm moments.
03 / REMEMBER & RETURN
Bring the story into real life.
Later, Jade remembers the connection she carries with her. When your child misses you, you can return to Jade’s story and the tools you have practised together. Ask what feels similar to Jade’s experience, and what feels different.
“What might help you when you miss me?”
THE COMPLETE KIT
Carry the connection beyond the page.
The book includes Jade’s story and the Junior Toolkit. The Complete Kit adds a physical Pocket Heart, a Goodbye Ritual Guide, and five magnetic caregiver tool cards.
- Give the heart meaning. Introduce the Pocket Heart at home as a reminder of your connection. Let your child choose where to keep it.
- Make goodbye familiar. Use the guide to plan and practise a short, personal goodbye before you need it.
- Support yourself, too. Keep the caregiver cards nearby and begin with one idea that fits your family.
The glowing kiss in Jade’s story is an illustration. The handmade Pocket Heart shown here is the physical keepsake included in the Complete Kit.

Some goodbyes will still be hard. A shared language and familiar practices give you something to return to together.
If your child’s distress continues, worsens, or affects daily life, speak with their educator and healthcare provider about what support may help. ECHO is an educational resource and does not replace individualized professional care.
