This book is about the loss of a pet. What I like is that it does not try to explain that loss, just shows a child in their feelings, or in their “shell”. It also shows that it may take a bit, but one day soon, that shell will crack and the good things will be remembered, new friends made, and lives changed. This book was lovingly done, and a great title to add to a collection on grief.
