Veterinarian and award-winning author, Andrew Peacock has a new children’s book available, One Brave Boy and his Cat. It’s an inspirational story of courage. Based on real events, the book tells of a family who refuses to tell their young son the true nature of the injuries their family pet has sustained in a car accident. Told with compassion and warmth, One Brave Boy and his Cat explores the difficult realities of pet loss and euthanasia. Artist Angie Green adds another level of meaning to the book with her bold and colourful paintings. The butterfly that shows up on every page suggests further themes of responsibility and hope in times of sorrow.
One Brave Boy and His Cat is an important source of support for all parents and kids with pets and the veterinarians who routinely deal with these difficult situations.
One Brave Boy and His Cat is available on Amazon, here or from the publisher, Flanker Books, here.
“One Brave Boy and His Cat is an important book for every child who has a pet. Andrew Peacock, Newfoundland’s favourite vet, tells the story of one brave boy coming to terms with the death of his beloved cat. With compassion and grace, Peacock shows how children can be given the responsibility of deciding when it’s time to let go.” — Charis Cotter, Award-winning author of The Ghost Road.
“It is never easy to say goodbye. One Brave Boy and His Cat gently and lovingly captures the experience of losing a beloved family cat. In addition to the difficult decision to euthanize a pet, parents are often burdened with the worry of their child’s reaction. This illustrated story shows what commonly happens with honest and empathic discussion.” — Margie Scherk, DVM, Dip ABVP, Editor, Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery.
