Original illustrations
by Vanessa Mier and Trey Wright; composition and typography by Crystal Wood. After viewing many young artists' work, the author commissioned Vanessa (age 13 at the beginning of the series) to produce child-like illustrations for the cover and text pages of the first three books. The vivid crayon and watercolor paintings add poignancy to these books about the inestimable value of animal companions in our lives. The most recent three books feature the work of another young illustrator. Trey was 17 when he began working on the series, and his style matures and improves with each installment. |

cover design for When Your Pet Dies was revised slightly
for its second printing. The colors are more vivid, and the titles
more prominent. |
