WONDERFUL GOODBYES
Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
A tender, moving picture book about how saying goodbye to a beloved pet is a celebration of everyday and everlasting love.
How do you say goodbye to a beloved pet?
Is it quiet? Is it lonely? Is it sad?
Or can it be wonderful?
Bailey has been sleeping more and eating less. And her human best friend knows the time has come to say goodbye. So together they sit under their favorite blanket, go on their favorite walk, and visit their favorite spot, choosing joy over sadness. Although Bailey will be gone soon, she will never be forgotten.
