Remember When is a tender, beautifully illustrated story designed to help children navigate one of life's first major heartbreaks: the loss of a beloved pet. The story follows young Zoe, who is struggling with the deep sadness of losing her family's very special dog, Sir Buddy Bear the XII. As her parents gently comfort her, they introduce a heartfelt perspective on grief. By reminiscing about the joyful, silly, and adventurous moments they shared with Buddy—from eating dinner chicken to wearing doggles on UTV rides—they guide Zoe through her big emotions. Written with deep empathy by Sarah Piercy, this book serves as a valuable tool for parents, caregivers, and teachers. It is intended to be read in a safe space where children can express their sadness openly. Using a beautiful metaphor of life being like a painting filled with a mixture of different colors—both happy and sad—Remember When teaches us that grief simply means our hearts cared deeply. It reminds us that by remembering the good times, we keep the love we shared alive forever.
