Joshie’s favourite page was the waffles, whipped cream and strawberries! Emily (8) said she “loved the wondrous and cosmic illustrations (her words!), how cute Cosmos is, and especially that Charlie knows all about heaven and the Love Magic!” It’s a truly beautiful book - you must be so proud you created it!”
— Kate Searle
“My children and I loved reading this magical story! The colorful and cosmic illustrations drew us in and perfectly matched the beautiful story about a young girl and her cute dog Cosmo. My children loved hearing about heaven, and how we connect with our loved ones who have passed away by watching for signs remembering loving moments we shared with them and spending time marveling at mother nature. A truly magical book and must read for children who have lost a beloved family member or pet.”
