ABOUT THE BOOK
How do you say goodbye?

Join Zachary, his loving family, and the Earth Angels as they help him fulfill his dream. Together, they triumph through loss and heartache, and learn that lasting love never fades…
Note from the Author:
Walking Each Other Home—Zachary's Mission: A Hospice for Children (illustrated by Roksana Barwinska, published by Trolley Stop Publishing) explores one brave boy's journey with terminal illness. Receiving unwavering support, care, and compassion from his family, Zachary navigates his fear and emotions in saying goodbye. With help from several Earth Angels, he accomplishes his final mission: to build a children's hospice in La Jolla, California.
The calm, comforting language helps young readers understand the concepts of empathy, illness, and mortality, while allowing them to explore feelings of fear and love. The author gently guides us through Zachary's journey to understand loss, grief, and death, while finding purpose and hope.
