Behind The Scenes: meet the real Patou!

 
Our Child Life staff reviewed the books and found that they were very helpful in their efforts to reduce stress and anxiety that many children experience in hospital and healthcare settings.
— Harris County Hospital District (Houston, Texas)

This beguiling three-part tale of a pair of schnauzers cannot fail to touch the heart of every reader. Without undue sentimentality, Patou voices his concerns over his changing circumstances in a way that becomes a reassuring comment on uncertainty, adapting to a new environment, grief, and renewed hope.
Edwards is that rare children’s writer whose gentle style reaches people of all ages. Hargreaves’ illustrations succinctly evoke the charm of the dog characters while her abstract background encourages readers to make their own connections.
— Evolve!
