The Longest Letsgoboy

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey meets Dog Heaven in this profoundly beautiful book about the special relationship between kids and dogs, the importance of language, and finding the meaning of life even in its final days.

Poignant, hopeful, and lovingly told, this dog's journey—told by the dog himself in his own unique words—proves that love abides beyond a lifetime, out of sight but never far away.

As a dog and his little girl go on their final walk together, he experiences the sights, smells, and wonders of this world one last time before peacefully passing on. But for such a good boy (oh yes, he is!) and his forever friend, that doesn't mean it's the end.

Offering a unique and noteworthy take on death, this book balances the somber topic with a dog's ever-optimistic viewpoint, all woven together with its unconventional yet fitting approach to language.

Family members, librarians, art-lovers, and educators alike will use this book as an accessible and comforting introduction to the ever-difficult topic of death, discussed and related in a new way with hopeful, uplifting, innovative language.

Little Wares Thoughts: Death is a topic that most want to avoid with little ones, but we believe that it is important to teach about death in age-appropriate ways. This book is sure to pull at the heartstrings of any animal lover, but it lovingly conveys the message of death and remembrance. Remember, honesty is always the best policy. Use this book as a tool and encourage your children to ask you questions, answer them honestly but mindfully of their age and comprehension level.
