Secret Garden Books Welcomes Author/Illustrator Julie Paschkis and Illustrator Margaret Chodos-Irvine for a Reading of their new book Where Lily Isn’t. The event is Thursday, 12 March 2020 at 6:30 PM. It is free and the public is invited. It is hard to lose a pet. There is sadness, but also hope–for a beloved pet lives on in your heart, your memory, and your imagination. Where Lily Isn’t is Julie Paschkis and Margaret Chodos-Irvine’s beautiful bereavement picture book celebrating the love of a lost pet.
Lily ran and jumped and barked and whimpered and growled and wiggled and wagged and licked and snuggled. But not now.
