Description

Based on the author's true experience of losing her first pet, Carrie, this book was written for younger children who have experienced the death of their bird, hamster, puppy, kitten, or other pet.

Children are encouraged to understand that sadness is a step in the process of healing. Adults sometimes don't recognize that children go through the stages of grief when they lose their pet just like when adults grieve the loss of loved ones.

Pets are more than just animals; they are often a part of the family unit. It is natural for parents to desire to protect their children from the painful experience of grief. With proper support, a child can process the loss and heal overtime.

Parents, grandparents, teachers, or gift givers can use this book as a conversational piece to assist a child through their grief process.
