Nilesaroni: A Courageous Journey - Hardcover

by Rachel Mitlo (Author), William Mitlo (Author)

Luna and Lucas could not wait to get off the school bus to see their best friend, Niles. This day would be different from other days, and their world suddenly changed. After hearing of their best friend's cancer diagnosis, Luna and Lucas are confused, sad, and scared--they just want things to stay as they were. What would you do? How would you react? How would you make the most of the time you have together? These were tough questions Luna and Lucas were faced with.

The family came up with a plan to build lasting memories filled with love, adventure, and compassion while caring for their four-legged family member. Through this journey, Luna and Lucas learn what it is like to be brave and find the courage to keep moving forward through this difficult time.

A poignant story about a beloved dog, Niles, who is an integral part of his loving family... A beautiful story of the cycle of life that reminds us that we can cherish each moment we have with the people and furry companions we love. It also teaches us how to remain loving and supportive... I will definitely recommend this book to the families I work with.
