About the books
P.S. I Love You More Than Tuna by Sarah Chauncey, illustrated by Francis Tremblay, published by Sounds True.
An illustrated gift book for adults grieving a companion cat, celebrating the often-quirky bond between humans and felines.
Our cats occupy a unique space in our hearts. When they’re gone, the loss can be devastating, the grief profound.
P.S. I Love You More Than Tuna gives us an opportunity to give friends, loved ones, or ourselves tangible comfort during the grieving period, when so many of us feel isolated and misunderstood after a beloved pet dies.
The author and illustrator (devoted cat lovers themselves) offer this book as a universal love letter from the felines we’ve bid goodbye to. It celebrates the special bonds we forge with our four-legged companions and reminds us that their love for us―and ours for them―need never end.
