Goodbye Little Dude

Goodbye Little Dude is the remarkable story about the kindness, strength, and hope of a young boy, his classmates, and a pet turtle. While seven-year-old Jonathan is unable to care for his turtle on his own and grows weaker, Little Dude thrives and grows under the tender care of Jonathan's classmates. Together, these first graders learn to cope with saying goodbye to someone they love.

Goodbye Little Dude is unique to the children's book market as it focuses on the loss of a class pet, and the implied loss of a beloved child. The unique nature of the subject matter is sensitive and is best suited for a young child that is faced with the loss of a loved one in his or her life.
