Who Rescued Who? Takes Home Gold

Who Rescued Who? by Janis Power is a book written for the purpose of helping children understand the death of a pet.  It is an excellent realistic fiction chapter book written for children ages 6-9, but touches the heart of many beyond that. It is about a 10 year old boy who learns his first puppy is very ill.  The emotional outbursts he proclaims will bring tears to your eyes and allows readers to grieve.  If you are a counselor, teacher, or veterinarian, this book can play an important role in educating a child and all who read it.  If you are a parent or grandparent, this book can be an awesome tool in helping a little one in your life to understand the multiple emotions that come out when grieving the loss of a pet.  Who Rescued Who? can also be used to parallel other losses in a child's life.   You do not want to miss this very special book.  Designing Education Publishers is extremely proud to be able to share this with the public for the first time.
