Aren't bubbles the best with what they can do?
And not just for me, but for all of you too.
There are bubbles in heaven spreading messages of care,
to everyone you love, up, up in the air.
This delicate 34-page rhyming paperback is illustrated by five and three-year-old sisters from the Gold Coast of Australia. It is a sensitive and beautiful story about the loss of the beloved family cat and how two young children have established a way to stay connected to their furry family friend beyond her life on earth. This book has been published to help young people deal with grief and loss, and provides a special way for families to look at this loss. The book tells of how the girls blow bubbles filled with their messages of love and watch as these 'messages' fly high into the sky.
The book in verse takes one young family's recent tragedy and turns it into a positive message for anyone going through something similar. The author of the book is the little girls' mother and together, the trio has produced something sensitive and useful for parents and carers to use during times of grief.
