The book also includes approximately 10 pages of caregiver guidance, offering gentle suggestions for adults who want to support conversation, connection, and emotional growth alongside the activities.

Who Will Scratch Behind My Ears is a tender, beautifully illustrated story that helps children navigate love, loss, and healing.

Little Dog, a devoted Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, has always felt safe and cherished with Grandma. But when she is suddenly gone, everything changes. The warmth, the comfort, the safety of being loved all seem to vanish. Through Little Dog’s eyes, children gently experience the confusion and sadness that come with losing someone dear.

Yet this story is not only about grief. It is also about the bonds that remain. Timmy, Grandma’s grandson, misses her just as deeply. Together, he and Little Dog discover that memories can heal, promises can guide us forward, and love does not disappear: it changes shape.

Told with honesty, compassion, and soft painterly illustrations, Who Will Scratch Behind My Ears offers children:

•      A gentle introduction to grief and loss

•      Reassurance that love continues through memory and tradition

•      A story of resilience, hope, and healing after goodbye
