"Here Comes Bella by Seth Karnes moved me in a quiet, gentle way. I appreciated that Liam's grief isn't rushed or quickly "fixed." Instead, the story shows that love remains and that a new friend can help ease the pain. For children who are grieving, this book is a comforting tool for starting conversations about loss at home. Nadica Zlatkova's soft, expressive artwork wraps the story in warmth through its gentle color palette. This is a good book for those searching for a heartfelt, pet-centered story that handles tough feelings with hope and honesty." - 5-Star Readers' Favorite Review
