cecimiller said: A lovely picture book with a well-crafted message about the power of loving care for a sick friend. Annie learns that her beloved cat, Ocho, is ill and won't get better. Endorsed by the Elisabeth Kubler-Ross Foundation, this book gives children a look at death and dying that isn't overly serious but also doesn't shy away from the sadness of loss. Simple questions at the back encourage discussion. Parents and children as well as caregivers and hospice workers will appreciate this book for ages 4-7. Bright, sensitive illustrations by Obadinah.
