Boek 'Er is iets mis met George'

We've read this together three times since our cat passed, and it's helped my daughter open up about feelings she couldn't put into words before. The gentle, matter-of-fact tone makes the hard topic of saying goodbye feel manageable for a little kid.

The illustrations are gentle enough for my sensitive 5-year-old, and the story handles the finality of pet loss in a way that doesn’t feel scary. We’ve read it three nights in a row since our old cat died, and it’s actually helping me find the right words too.

My 4-year-old asked so many questions when our dog passed, and this book gave us the words to answer them. The gentle storyline made it easier for her to understand and say goodbye, and we've read it together every night since.
