A Simple Song is now a Simple Book A New Children's Book based on the song by Venice that helps the Whole Family get through tough timesIn times of grief and loss, the healing power of music has been found to transcend all ages, cultures, and boundaries. For children, coping with a loss can be traumatic. A hug offers comfort, but compassionate and meaningful words help their young hearts understand. Since 1999, a song by Southern California band Venice, has been helping people transform a painful experience into peace and acceptance with simple words and a simple melody -- “The Family Tree.”The Family Tree Will Always Grow is a new children’s book based on this heartfelt song, designed to help kids cope with grief and loss. In addition to the lyrics, this new book contains color illustrations that kids of all ages can easily follow in a story about a family of birds, their nest, loss, and a new life.The song was first released in 1999 on their album “Spin Art” and after 25+ years of live performances, countless memorial recitals, with OVER 3.6 MILLION plays on Spotify and 1.2 MILLION Youtube views, “The Family Tree” continues to unite people who hunger for the strength to keep moving forward in life despite their loss.Co-author Kipp Lennon writes: “When we first wrote the song ‘The Family Tree’ for our band, Venice, it was a very personal song meant to be a loving tribute to those in our family that have passed on as well as a song of strength, shared loss and hope for those still here. Much to our surprise, this simple, personal song took on a life of its own as we watched it resonate and connect with people from all around the world in ways we never could have imagined. It turned out to be about their families too.”Learn more about Venice and their 40 years of music at: www.venicetheband.comA New Children's Book on grief recovery from the publisher who brought you The Invisible String
