Written to help families start meaningful conversations about grief and healing. Zoe’s Gift is a comforting and beautifully illustrated children's picture book about grief, emotional healing, and the lasting bond between a child and her beloved pet. When Mya meets her puppy Zoe, it’s love at first sight.

From temper tantrums to scary changes, Zoe is always there, helping Mya understand and express her big feelings with love, patience, and safety. But when Zoe’s life comes to an end, Mya faces a loss she doesn’t know how to navigate. Through her grief, she slowly realizes that Zoe’s greatest gift wasn’t just her companionship—it was the emotional tools she left behind. Everything Zoe taught her about love, resilience, and kindness now helps Mya begin to heal. Written by mental health advocate Amanda Middleton, Zoe’s Gift is an ideal book for helping children process the death of a pet, family member, or any kind of loss.
