About the Author:

Natsiree lives in the beautiful state of Washington with her three cats...

She doesn't really know what to say about herself and is realizing that writing about herself in 3rd person is very odd. She has a fondness for cats, cryptids, cacti, and crumpets. (Not necessarily in that order)

About the Illustrator:

Stephanie is a lover of all things and uses them to draw inspiration. Flowers, coffee, tea, food, all the Good things in life; and in particular, cat toe beans, birds, and just about everything on four legs. Sometimes two.

-About this Book-

This book is for anyone who has ever lost someone to the cruel twist of fate. Every single chapter is a different stage of grief. Our protagonist, Newton the newt will be alongside you for the duration of your journey. My hope for you is that you will also be able to find healing for yourself as Newton travels through the pages with you.
