This book is a must have for parents and children dealing with pet loss,

This review is from: The True Story of Critter Angels by Yani (Hardcover)
I received this book as a gift for Christmas in 2005. The book is beautifully written from the pets perspective. Near the end of the book there are spaces for you to place photos of your own "Critter Angels". A nice touch to help us remember our pets when they do pass away. My oldest cat Pearl is almost 15 and she will probably not be with us much longer. When Pearl does pass away I know that this book will help my children and myself deal with the loss of a pet who has been a part of our lives for so many years.Thank you Shendl Diamond and Thank you Yani.

Not just for kids...,

This review is from: The True Story of Critter Angels by Yani (Hardcover)
The True Story of Critter Angels by Yani is one of those wonderful books that crossover between childhood and adulthood. The experience of loss is universal, and Shendl Diamond's sensitive text and delightful illustrations easily elicit strong feelings in adults as well. I lent my copy to a 60 year old friend who has been a pet lover her whole life and she was soon crying, with a beautiful smile on her face at the same time, saying "This is so wonderful!" The book is appropriate whether or not the reader has a religious background, as the idea of "angels" provides a powerful metaphor independent of any particular belief system. I know this is a book I will be giving again and again, knowing it will be able to work it's magic, honoring pet loss and comforting the griever.

This review is from: The True Story of Critter Angels by Yani (Hardcover)
This sweet book reminds us all of angels in our lives. The pets used in this book so beautifully reminded me of not only how healing our own dogs have been to my family, but also how healing friends and family can be too. The book is great all around for reminding us to all cherish those angels in our lives, no matter what form they come in. This book is touching, sweet and poignant.
