Description

With all of my heart, I believe it is true that there is a heaven for animals, too.

The heaven of animals is a magical place. Angels know every dog's favourite game; cats bask in their own rays of sunshine; horses thunder across the sky.

The loss of a pet is heartbreaking. But in The Heaven of Animals, the love you have for your animal friends lives on. National-bestselling author Nancy Tillman offers a message of comfort in this board book, which is sure to help readers of all ages through the process of grieving and healing.
