My Little Boy in Furry Pants

"My Little Boy in Furry Pants" is a children's book for the wondering child in all of us, regardless of our age. The author tells a delightful story about her animal companions and how they have taught her that when our bodies die, our spirits go on forever. Chery's dogs and cats have shown her that love crosses all boundaries and triumphs even after the body has died and the spirit goes "home" to heaven. Through her stories of Rufus, Maja, Sheelin, Lucy-Liu, and Itza, the author explores life after death, near-death experiences, and the truth that ultimately, death does not separate us from those we love. Chery Esau also gently introduces young readers to new concepts such as animal communicators, animals mourning, dreams, telepathy, animals in spirit, and animals as teachers and healers. Bottom line, "My Little Boy in Furry Pants" encourages children to be sensitive and kind to all animals. Whimsical four-color illustrations accompany this wonderful story about animal companions and humans who love one another unconditionally. REVIEWERS' PRAISE "Everyone needs to own and read this book. A children's book with an ageless message, 'My Little Boy in Furry Pants' conveys through clear and skillful writing and enchanting illustrations what each of us deeply yearns to know: that pure, unconditional love heals, and life continues in a beautiful way beyond the difficult times of the illness and death of the physical body.... "There is so much wisdom packed into the pages of this book---certainly appropriate for all ages, although reading it to, and with children, will only help them better understand the concepts and experiences of life, death, and beyond.... "This book offers its readers absolute joy and assurance of life beyond death. And for all of us who live with, love, and respect animals, there is no better gift we can give ourselves, and our friends and colleagues than this slender, powerful, and encouraging volume."
