Description
Oddest Books of 2018 List—Betsy Bird,School Library Journal
Part creation myth, part fairy tale, The Day We Lost Pet tells the story of a balloon family that comes together to mourn the death of their beloved Pet.
These endearing balloon characters harness the language of poetry, science, and nature in order to understand some of life’s most difficult moments. For anyone who has lost a beloved pet family member, this is an imaginative resource to help with explaining loss and the feelings of grief.

Advance Praise
"This supremely tender book is one that readers will return to again and again, if they can bear it, finding new meaning with each reading and in each new stage of life. Breathtakingly original."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"A good strange children’s book makes you want to return to it over and over again. Sometimes, because with each subsequent reading you get something out of it. Sometimes, because you didn’t quite get it the first time. Sometimes both. Chalk this one up in the “both” field." Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal, Oddest Books of 2018
