Description

A tender, poetic picture book about a military family experiencing happiness, heartache, and learning to grow through change

"Changes come and changes go. Love through changes makes love grow."

When her mother is deployed overseas, a young girl is temporarily parted from her beloved dog. Told in spare yet lyrical verse, this picture book shares a powerful message about the different ways we show love, from giving, to growing together, to sometimes letting go. But don't worry, this pet story has a happy ending.
