This story uses the metaphor of a stone to gently and powerfully convey the journey of grief and loss in a way that resonates deeply with children. It captures the heavy and often isolating feeling that accompanies grief, yet inspires hope by showing that, over time, we can grow strong enough to carry that weight. Through vivid imagery of soaring, grounding, and gradual strength building, children can relate to the experience of feeling weighed down by sadness while also seeing a path toward resilience.

By ending with a message of empathy and support for others who may carry the same weight, the story emphasizes the importance of kindness and uplifting others. In There's a Stone in My Pocket, a child once free to soar through life finds themselves weighed down by a mysterious stone that symbolises grief and loss.

It began in 1954, after the country of Vietnam was split into two parts, North Vietnam and South Vietnam.

The main aim of the civil rights movement was to give everybody equal rights regardless of color skin color, gender, nationality, religion, disability or age.
