Where Lily Isn't is Julie Paschkis and Margaret Chodos-Irvine's beautiful bereavement picture book celebrating the love of a lost pet.

Lily ran and jumped and barked and whimpered and growled and wiggled and wagged and licked and snuggled.

But not now.

It is hard to lose a pet. There is sadness, but also hope―for a beloved pet lives on in your heart, your memory, and your imagination.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Understated but powerful . . . with a sweet, unforgettable ending." ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Beautifully written and illustrated . . . answers a real need that children have." ―School Library Journal

"Poignant . . it’s the authentic specifics about the experience of loss, unfolding in Paschkis’ quietly rhythmic prose, that make it so real as well as so sad. Chodos-Irvine’s light-filled stencil and gouache artwork is key to controlling the mood." ―The Bulletin, starred review

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book about losing a pet that I've ever read!
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2020
Verified Purchase
This gorgeous children's book was published and released to the public a few weeks before Covid 19 affected all our lives in such difficult ways. Consequently, it didn't receive the acclaim and notice it should have.

Losing a beloved pet can be one of the most difficult experiences we have. "Where Lily Isn't" won't bring back your pet but will ease the suffering and offers a beautiful way to help a child (or adult) cope.

Julie's story and Margaret's gorgeous illustrations could not be more perfect. It is a true gem and borrowing words from my brother "one of the best books I've ever read." To that, I'd add, and one of the prettiest.

I believe it is destined to become a classic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful in time of loss
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2022
Author Julie Paschkis and artist Margaret Chodos-Irvine beautifully blend sparse, loving text with soft art and plenty of white space to convey the feelings of emptiness and sorrow after a pet dies. From the MC’s point of view, every place in the house where the loving, energetic, adorable doggie isn’t is a painful reminder. But in the end, the little girl knows exactly where Lily IS and will always be. A perfect book to help a child deal with this kind of loss.
