"The book, by design, shows others how to open themselves to the loving support of their family and is a model for all types of losses, whether a pet or even a family member."--Pacific Book Review "Kate, the Ghost Dog is filled with love, vivid color, and feeling.

This is a sensitive, beautifully written book designed to help young people cope with their grief over the death of a pet. It is filled with both poignancy and humor - a combination that really 'hooks' readers of all ages. It deals specifically with the loss of a dog, but acknowledges that grief can accompany the loss of any pet. It takes seriously the emotional depth of grief.
