Description

Lily ran and jumped and barked and whimpered and growled and wiggled and wagged and licked and snuggled. But not now. It is hard to lose a pet. There is sadness, but also hope-for a beloved pet lives on in your heart, your memory, and your imagination. Godwin Books

Reviews

"Understated but powerful . . . with a sweet, unforgettable ending." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Beautifully written and illustrated . . . answers a real need that children have." --School Library Journal

"Poignant . . it's the authentic specifics about the experience of loss, unfolding in Paschkis' quietly rhythmic prose, that make it so real as well as so sad. Chodos-Irvine's light-filled stencil and gouache artwork is key to controlling the mood." --The Bulletin, starred review
