Ellen Howard pens an endearing picture book illustrated by Mark Graham that tells the sweet story of a young girl, Kate, growing up with her childhood dog, Murphy. Kate and Murphy have always been pals. Even before Kate was old enough to walk, she and Murphy had a special bond. Through the years of her childhood, Kate and her trusted dog grow together.
When Murphy dies a quiet death under the old tree swing, her family tries hard to help comfort Kate. Despite what everyone tells her, Kate finds peace in the one thing she knows is certain: she will never, ever forget Murphy.
