Book Forever in my heart

"In the Heart"

Pretty picture book "Forever in my heart".

The content: 

With children, no day is the same and every first time is something very special - but the first experience with death, grief and loss is also a particularly challenging one. How do we help our little ones understand something so big that we ourselves are often at a loss for words? Page by page, this picture book perhaps makes it a little easier to introduce children to this supposedly difficult topic in a loving way.

“Forever in my Heart” is the touching story of a girl who has to say goodbye to her dog Bailey. But how do you spend your last days together when you know that your beloved pet will soon be gone? The family wants to make it as nice as possible for the dog: they cuddle together under their favorite blanket, take a walk to their favorite apple tree and visit all their favorite places again. The girl knows she will be sad - but she also knows that she will never forget her time with Bailey.   

Kelly Wu beautifully poetizes what it means to lose a pet. With particularly tender, warm-hearted illustrations, she shows children ages 3 and up that joy and sadness sometimes go hand in hand - and that being sad is an important feeling that is part of life.

Suitable for children aged 3 and over.
