Description

From the New York Times best-selling creator of the Find Momo series, Andrew Knapp, comes a moving exploration of grief for the youngest readers that will resonate with anyone who has loved and lost a pet.

I felt angry and sad, my heart left behind.
Could I play hide-and-seek, with no one to find?

Life with a dog brings adventure, friendship, and joy—but what remains after a beloved dog has passed away? With heartfelt text and playful mixed-media illustrations, Andrew Knapp meditates on the life and loss of his best friend, Momo: playing hide-and-seek all over the world, connecting with nature, and Momo’s final journey, with Andrew holding his paw.

Bittersweet and affirming, Find Momo Everywhere is a powerful exploration of grief for dog lovers of all ages—and how we can still connect with our loved ones even after they're gone.

Excerpt: Find Momo Everywhere (by (author) Andrew Knapp)

This is the story of Momo.
Have you had a friend this true?

The best around
with four paws on the ground,
who spends all of their time
with you.

We’d fetch and we’d catch,
we’d run and we’d jump.
Every day we found new
games to play.

But our favorite, you see, was hide-and-go-seek . . .
and Momo could play this all day.

From the porch
to the yard,
some spots were
quite hard!

Can you find him?
Where did he go?
