NATIONAL BESTSELLER FOR FANS OF A DOG'S PURPOSE. This richly illustrated book reveals a comforting narrative told from the point of view of a loving angel dog, who wants you to know, "I'm still here . . . But I'm also there where all the animals run free, with no pain, waiting for you, watching for you, loving you, and guiding you."

Losing one's dog is one of the most difficult experiences we go through and it's hard to find solace. However, the profound, four-legged narrator of I'm Still Here has nothing but good news for humans. The free verse is equally rhapsodic about the eternal nature of our souls and the amazing sound of crinkly wrappers that means cheese is about to be sliced. This very good dog proclaims that love never dies, that we will meet again, and that if you ever doubted that humans are magnificent creatures, look no further than the humble ball.
There is nothing to fear, because it is this dog's purpose to pull you (like a bad dog who doesn't know how to do "leash") toward joy, and to remind you to relish all the naps and treats life has to offer.

Author Cathryn Michon co-wrote the blockbuster hit film A Dog's Purpose. Elegant, full-color watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Seth Taylor make this sumptuous volume the perfect gesture of compassion for anyone who has ever said goodbye to a dog (or person) gone too soon, because it's always too soon. It turns out that the best way to honor those we've loved and lost is to be here now, until we meet again.

      Starred review from October 1, 2024

      Losing a loved one, especially a pet, can have a devastating, enduring impact, as Michon (Grrl Genius Guide to Sex) experienced when she lost her beloved dog. This book serves as a near response to the bestselling novel A Dog's Purpose by Michon's husband, W. Bruce Cameron, providing the perspective of Michon's "angel dog" Tucker, who passed away but is still present. Even though Tucker has crossed over the bridge, he wants readers to know that he and other departed pets consistently remain nearby and exude love. The text resembles the structure of a poem, frequently incorporating parentheticals and weaving around Taylor's beautiful illustrations, which often depict Tucker. Although poignant, this book also has some lighthearted pages, when Tucker reminisces about the highs (tummy rubs, snacks, balls) and lows (baths, having to sit or stay) of being a dog. VERDICT This uplifting book addresses a difficult topic with hope, love, and a touch of humor. The illustrations and text make it suitable for children or adults coping with the loss of a pet. Recommended for readers needing grief support.--Erica Swenson Danowitz
