Pepper Says Goodbye (Pre Order Now)

Pepper Says Goodbye

Tia loves Pepper, her family’s beloved cat. Pepper has been there through quiet afternoons, playful moments, and countless memories. So when Pepper dies, Tia is faced with a feeling she has never experienced quite like this before: grief.

Through Tia’s journey, Pepper Says Goodbye gently introduces children to the experience of losing someone they love. Tia learns that sadness can look different from person to person—and that remembering, talking, crying, creating, and sharing memories can all be part of saying goodbye.

But Tia’s story doesn't end with loss. It becomes a journey of remembrance, love, and understanding.

The Adult Corner

Each Adventures of Tia book includes an Adult Corner, allowing parents, caregivers, educators, and other trusted adults to continue the conversation beyond the story.

In Pepper Says Goodbye, the Adult Corner explores how different cultures and communities honor and remember those who have died. By introducing children to diverse traditions surrounding death, remembrance, mourning, and celebration of life, families can begin meaningful conversations about culture, family traditions, and the many ways people express love after loss.

The Adventures of Tia, the newest series from SBK's Blessing, reminds children that growing up means experiencing the full range of life—and that they never have to navigate the big moments alone.
