Heaven is amazing. Especially the dogs.

— a gentle place to land.

Heaven is Amazing — The Dogs, watercolor cover with dogs in clouds painting the title
Who it's for

For the family with an empty bed by the window.

Losing a dog isn't small. This book doesn't pretend it is. Instead it tucks the loss into a soft, sunny place — somewhere kids can return to whenever the question comes back.

What makes it special

Soft as the spot they used to curl up in.

Reassuring, never sad

Heaven, here, is a sunlit meadow. There are squeaky toys. There are belly rubs. There is story time. Promise.

Made for reading aloud

Short, lyrical pages built for snuggled-up nights and small voices asking the big question.

Watercolor by Tanya Panova

Hand-painted dogs in the clouds — beagles, dachshunds, scrappy mutts — every page a small piece of art to keep.

a small page from inside

There's a forest cloud where we can dig in the mud or chase tiny critters in streams. There are trails full of animal poo and stinky things to roll in. It's quite popular.

— from Heaven is Amazing

It's okay to miss them today.
It's okay to laugh tomorrow.

— both, somehow, can be true.

Bring it home.

32 pages, illustrated throughout by Tanya Panova. Wrapped in tissue and shipped with a small handwritten note — because it usually arrives on a hard day.
