Klappentext

When the Cows Come Home

When the Cows Come Home is a tender, heartfelt story about love, loss, and the quiet ways we stay connected to those we miss.

Follow Gerald, a fluffy Highland calf with wobbly legs and a big, sensitive heart, as he tries to understand a world that suddenly feels too large and too quiet after the loss of his mama. Through gentle encounters with wise and comforting animals, Gerald begins to explore where his mother has gone-and what it means to carry her love with him, even when he can't see her.

With soft, poetic storytelling and a comforting tone, this book introduces the idea of an afterlife through the peaceful and imaginative "Great Green Pasture"-a place beyond the hills where love continues and no one is ever truly alone. The message is intentionally open and inclusive, making it accessible and meaningful for families of many different beliefs.

Perfect for children ages 4-10, When the Cows Come Home is a supportive resource for:

• Children experiencing the loss of a loved one (family member, friend, or pet)
• Families navigating grief together
• Classrooms, counselors, and therapists introducing conversations about loss
• Any child learning how to understand big feelings in a safe, gentle way

At the end of the book, you'll find thoughtfully crafted discussion questions designed to help parents, teachers, and caregivers guide meaningful, age-appropriate conversations about grief, remembrance, and emotional healing.

This is more than a story-it's a comforting companion for difficult moments, offering reassurance that love doesn't disappear... it simply finds new ways to come home.
