Following the death of her sister, Vicki Guggenbickler decided to use her artistic talents to write and illustrate a book to help young children facing the death of a loved one. Vicki loves animals and hopes her drawings will bring a smile to readers as each share their fond memories with Willow, the main character of her story. All of the characters except two are either her family or friend’s pets. Willow and Tabasco live with Vicki and her husband in Georgia.
