Kate was the best dog ever. Kate was Aleta's dog. Kate has died. And Aleta's never experienced death before.
This is a sensitive, beautifully written book designed to help young people cope with their grief over the death of a pet. It is filled with both poignancy and humor - a combination that really 'hooks' readers of all ages. It deals specifically with the loss of a dog, but acknowledges that grief can accompany the loss of any pet. It takes seriously the emotional depth of grief.
Ages 8 to 13 years
