The Space Where You Slept

For a pet who's died. Gentle, and honest that they aren't coming back.

An example book

The Forest That Remembers

A real book this template produced. Every illustration and every line made by the same pipeline, nothing mocked up. It is an example, not your book: yours will star your child, in a story written for them.

Cover

This sample stars a made-up child called Nell.

The brief we start from

A gentle story about a pet who has died. I want it to be honest — not to pretend the pet is coming back or has gone somewhere sunny — and to end with my child able to carry the animal with them in the remembering.

This goes to the storyteller exactly as written, as though you had typed it yourself. Everything after it is about your child.

What we'll need from you

  • Your child's name and age
  • A photo, if you have a good one. It's what makes the illustrations look like them
  • Who the book is from, for the cover
