A Necklace to Keep is a tender Assyrian children’s story about love, memory, and the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters. Hand-illustrated with paper and colored pencil, this one-of-a-kind book follows young Nineveh as she navigates childhood, loss, and the quiet magic of remembrance. When a cherished necklace goes missing, a dream leads her on a journey that connects past to present and reveals that what’s truly precious is never really lost.

This book is a celebration of heritage, resilience, and the stories we carry with us. Perfect for children ages 4–9 and anyone who cherishes family and tradition.
