Ah this book is so heartbreaking but heartwarming at the same time too 💔😢🥹😭
This book is actually the reason why I have yet serious committed with pets. I don't think I would bounce back quickly if I lose my pets due to old age or any reason at all. I lost my iguana pet (not) long ago because he escaped through the windows and I still feel pain in my heart everytime I see his favorite food (water spinach). Tsunami (my iguana pet name) was affectionate-ish with me and I am still so sad I lose him. Imagine if I have affectionate pets like dogs and cats. I think I would be really hurt and broken. However, this book beautifully showed that it's normal and ok to grieve over our beloved pets. This book smoothly explains the stage of grief and then accepting it.
The illustrations were so good. Perfectly fit with the theme of the book. The colors were soft pastel and well embraced the story of the book.
I read this book to my 5 years old son. Like me, he also experienced the sadness of losing Tsunami, our iguana. Though his grief was/is different with mine, his was/is also valid. I think this book is relatable to him (and me) and made it easy to understand.
Thank you to Jessica Collins, Lisa Melamed, Indigo River Publishing, and NetGalley for the ARC.
