Meet Verity, a sweet and imaginative girl who loves her old tabby cat, Mabel, more than anything in the world. When you read this story, you will feel Verity's deep sadness the day she discovers that her beloved pet has passed away. Because her dad and grandparents still struggle to talk about the loss of Verity's mum from years ago, the house is completely silent about death. Instead of telling her family, Verity remembers a fascinating history lesson about Ancient Egyptians and makes a very unusual decision. You will watch in surprise as she attempts to mummify Mabel, keeping her beloved cat safely hidden away in her bedroom wardrobe. You will be moved as this secret eventually comes out, forcing her entire family to finally sit down and talk about their feelings. This gentle, surprisingly funny, and deeply comforting story is the perfect way to understand how to handle big emotions, say goodbye to a pet, and lean on your family for support.
