It's All The Same Forest

It's All the Same Forest: An illustrated book about pet loss — but more importantly, pet love

This book began as a poem written years before my sweet soulmate cat, Squiggles, passed away. In the wake of grief, the original words took on a whole new meaning. I began drawing images to go with the the story, looking at photos of Squiggles and letting emotion guide each page.

The result is a 60-page hardcover keepsake that weaves together original art, poetry, and a guided exercise to help you write your own poem about your pet. It’s the kind of story that helps you breathe a little easier before bed — and reminds you that the love you share with a beloved pet never dies.
