Big Cat Pepper has always been part of the family, but after he grows very old and dies, the boy who loves him comes to understand his mother's reassurance that "his spirit is forever and can fly, fly, fly." - Baker & Taylor
Noticing that his special pal, Big Cat Pepper, isn't coming out to play as much as before, a little boy realizes that something is wrong and so when he discovers that his cat has died, the little boy must find a way to deal with the loss through remembering the many special times the two once shared. - McMillan Palgrave
Big Cat Pepper has always been a part of the family. But he seems to be sleeping more and more. And then one day he just doesn't wake up again. "His spirit lives forever," the boy's mother tells him gently. Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time, the complex issue of death for young readers is addressed here in a loving, accessible way.
