The Tails of Mac and Motley
With Ringo Star
by
E.E. Flegel
Ringo has never had a family of his own. When he’s finally adopted, he’s so excited! But when Ringo arrives at his new home, everything isn’t as he expected. He can smell other dogs, but he can’t see them. Ringo realises that his new family is navigating the loss of their first two dogs, Mac and Motley. What will he do? Ringo is determined to help his new family grieve, and to keep the memory of their pets alive even as they learn to move on together. The Tails of Mac and Motley is a sweet rhyming story about how we heal from grief. Because pets are with us for such a short time, many families relate to the experience of such a loss. This book helps kids understand how to process all those big feelings, and to see what it looks like to move forward.
A beautiful testament to early learning about death as a part of life, and how to move forward and heal.
E.E. Flegel is a writer, nurse, mom, and pet lover. After her family experienced the loss of their beloved family dogs, she decided to write a book to share how adopting a new pet helped the whole family heal. When she isn’t writing, Flegel likes to ski, camp, and watch her kids play hockey. She lives in a small town in B.C., with her husband Danny, her kids Maddy, Wyatt, and Rhys, and, of course, their dog Ringo.
