A child’s grief for a beloved pet

After Zack’s dog dies, his friend Emily offers the idea of an “Invisible Leash” connecting pets and people even when they are apart. Zack initially trusts only what he can see, and a journey through the neighborhood becomes part of his experience of grief. The story frames remembrance and continuing love through the series’ familiar image of an unseen bond. Its focus on pet loss gives the book a specific way to approach bereavement with young children, while the accompanying illustrations by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff support the picture-book format.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 coping with the death of a pet
  • Families looking for a picture book to help talk with young children about pet loss
  • Readers familiar with The Invisible String series

Book overview

From the author of the 2 million-copy-bestselling picture book phenomenon The Invisible String comes a moving companion title about coping with grief when a pet dies.

"When our pets aren't with us anymore, an Invisible Leash connects our hearts to each other. Forever." That's what Zack's friend Emily tells him after his dog dies. Zack doesn't believe it. He only believes in what he can see. But on an enlightening journey through their neighborhood--and through his grief--he comes to feel the comforting tug of the Invisible Leash. And it feels like love.

Accompanied by tender, uplifting art by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff, bestselling author Patrice Karst's gentle story uses the same bonding technique from her classic book The Invisible String to help readers through the experience of the loss of a beloved animal.
